Two minute hate – or a lifetime of LOVE?

OK…so a cheerful 1950s comedy about a bohemian couple and their mischievous mustached genie, in THE FUTURE?

It reminds me of this recent UK commercial “Welcome Back London” – something’s off about the message:

It’s easy to decide what to wear in 1984.

I remember reading this in high school.
It was about a guy named Winston.
He had a government job.
Met a girl at a work function.
They fell in love.
Went antique shopping.
He had a brother, a big fellow, I forget his name.
His brother was always looking out for him.
At the end of the story he told us how much he loved his brother.
Pretty accurate. Good Show Sir!

The heart warming tale of one mans triumph over fascism and bad haircuts.

If you nothing about the book would there be a damsel tag?

Torville and Dean were still pretty popular in 1990.
@ARY: was it SUPPOSED to make us think of ‘Brazil’? It’s worse that the Olympic one where British Airways wanted us to not flee the capital, so they played ‘London Calling’ by the Clash, oblivious to the lyrics.
@Cornelius: heh-heh-heh.

Big Brother looks like he is censoring something a la space sheep. Where is her hand anyway?

@JuanPaul
You think he has that expression on his face with good reason, then?

We’ve had many bad covers, and many inappropriate ones, but this… THIS… is the ultimate in GSS!
@Bruce: I can hear the perky theme song.
@Cornelius: I’d have watched that.
@fred: my thought as well.

I showed this to Mr. xn.
His reactions in order:
1. Horrified stare.
2. Shaking head in disbelief.
3. Murmuring “no, no, no” while continuing to shake head.
4. Saying “Gazing into a bright future…” then falling silent.
He’s not that good an actor, so I’m confident that was his authentic reaction.

Come off it, Leo Sayer wasn’t having hits in 1984.

I agree with Mr. xn
I’ve seen a couple different covers of this book over the years to appeal to different generations and this one is mystifying in it’s horribleness. Ew.
To make everyone feel better, might I suggest the following on YouTube:
