Gizmo is a documentary about oddball inventions and inventors from the 20th century. It's one of my favorite documentaries ever. I've watched it a dozen times or so over the years.

Link (Via kirchersociety.org)Behold...the power of the open mind! Howard Smith's 1977 documentary about improbable inventions is now freely available on Google Video. The documentary compiles old newsreel footage of wacky inventions in action, (or inaction as the case may be), as well as some inventors' physical quirks and others' daring deeds in "bringing their invention to market," all for your enjoyment. A personal favorite, the backwards car, can be seen near the 50 minute mark. A must-see for Boing Boing readers!
