The first of several films Len Lye made for the British Ministry of Information during World War II. Set to wartime jazz tunes, including “Bugle Call Rag,” it opens and closes with an animated bugle. Using direct animation, Lye combined abstract, colorful imagery with warnings against gossiping. (MoMA Circulating Film Library Catalog)
