A “behind the scenes” film about the movie “2001,” which was just getting underway. It’s fairly cheesy, but it does have some interesting footage showing the “briefcase computer” being used. Interestingly, one of the conclusions that cane be drawn from it is that, technology aside, it’s rather a dismal failure as a laptop computer; it’s clear that the guy using it would not have been able to see the screen very well at all were he resting the device on his lap.
Also: lots of concept art I hadn’t seen before. Footage of the centrifuge from the *outside,* giving an impression of just what a massive construction job it was.
This featurette is apparently on the “2001” BluRay.
