"There was so little money that "Top Banana" was shot in a day and a half. just pointed the camera and let it roll. He didn't dare stop. In the final cut, you could see a stage hand walking behind a drop. The sound quivered and faded, and yet it managed to pick up every off camera shoe squeak. The 3-D process was obsolete by the time the picture was released, so the 3-D film was projected on regular two-dimensional machines. This left all sort of strange vertical blurs. But the comedy was still there. Somewhere. I made nothing out of the picture. "Top Banana" is occasionally shown on the TV too-late shows, which adds a little blur of their own. The young film buffs who stay up all night consider it a collector's item. With its out of sync sound, inexplicable noises, scenes that seem to be underwater, it's now avant-garde."  -  Phil Silvers

Bananas...How To Serve Them!

Which got me wondering. Bananas grow around a huge stalk that they harvest by chopping down the plant. So do they ship them that way and then somebody at the grocery warehouse has to break it down into bunches? Probably has a quota for so many large, medium, and small bunches. But really wouldn't it be great if they just hung a stalk up in the store and let you pluck off your own?
