Bathtubs over Broadway

A Thing I’ve Watched 04/24: Bathtubs over Broadway

This one came to my attention through the 20kHz-episode linked below about the same topic, which is Industrial Musicals.

Apparently, in the 60s and 70s companies put up full-scale, Broadway-production-values musicals about the company, the products, and/or management/sales-strategies for their employees. And it’s as wild as it sounds.

The poster for Bathtubs over Broadway: On the bottom Steve Young, wearing a white shirt, black fly and a very sparkling jacket as well as ZOOM-goggles (the letters), raising his arms above his head with a... probably exstatic expression? Over his arms the title, Bathtubs over Broadway, with faux lightbulbs painted in, and over that praise for the movie.
