Once upon a Prime Time

Devlin, Bernard, (film director.). Bairstow, David, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: A zany spoof with plenty of violence borrowed from the very source it seeks to parody, this film is about a housewife who has lost her family to the television set. Characters spring from the screen to invade her home and take over her life. She is saved by Buck the cowboy, who shoots everyone dead and rides off with her. Sam, her husband, witnesses the departure on his TV set.
