This isn't worth watching for what it is, but I count it as a notable example, more so because it is a cheap TeeVee production with low aspirations.
The overall story is about art forgery.
The structure is adventuresome. The story we see is written by the mystery writer who is the main character. Actually the main character is an on screen image of the writer's character from earlier stories. The same actor plays the writer and his character, and we have a lot of banter.
The character gives advice on what to do next, while the writer works to get control because he wants to write — to be — a different character.
The interesting thing is that any viewer would easily understand the folds here, well enough to get the humor that saturates it.
I have a project that studies folding, stuff like this. Often, you'll find this in experiments and serious projects. When you find this in silly productions for fun, it matters. It validates the sophistication of the average viewer.
