I found a DVD of this film on The Historical Archive's website. The characters lack real-life complexity. The story is thin, and clearly skewed to showcase producer Westinghouse's exhibits. It's clearly the product of its culture (would you feature a cigarette-smoking robot in a promotional film today?). But there's not much better in terms of experiencing a visit via film. Much video exists but most is silent. And it's mostly unedited. This gives you a story you can watch and enjoy, and you get some idea of what a day at that fair must have been like. This film left me wanting more, but at least it gave me something of an experience. I'd buy it again.
