America: Everything You’ve Ever Dreamed Of (1973)

Caustic and deadpan, these short documentaries create hilarious, indelible portraits of Americana. Ganz and Streeter follow retirees in Sun Valley, honeymooners in the Poconos, sign painters in Brooklyn, help-line operators, female comportment instructors, Muzak executives, and denizens of a Bowery men’s shelter.
