[silence] 1947 film featuring Cage music

[David Badagnani]

I apologize if this has already come up, but I've just learned about a 1947 "experimental film noir" featuring music by John Cage, entitled "Dreams That Money Can Buy."  I'd never heard of it before today.
   
  Here is the IMDB entry about it:

  Apparently the entire 79-minute film can be watched here:

  Does anyone know more about this film?  I'd love to hear people's thoughts about the Cage segment ("Discs").
   
  So many great Cage finds these days, with the easy availability of online video!
   
   
  On an unrelated note, I'm not sure I've mentioned this before, but Jamestown has been in the news quite a bit lately.  The Roanoke colony (on the coast of North Carolina) was established about 20 years earlier and I visited the museum there.  On the passenger manifest of the first voyage in 1585 is a "John Cage."  Someone's put the list online here:
