Mr. Wonderful
Fans of films may find Mr. Wonderful especially interesting thanks to its engaging atmosphere, visual presentation, and entertainment value.
Childhood programming is a recurring Price theme. His 10-minute Mr. Wonderful matches a single, scratched close-up of an LP portrait of goofy Fred Rogers to selections from the record. The effect is less ironic than defamiliarizing. At one point, Mr. Rogers sings a song suggesting that childish clowning is a way of warding off fear-an insight that provides the context for Clown (1992).
