    <reviewbody>As yet, there are no Punch and Judy movies to download from the Prelinger library, but this is a good substitute.  A harmless little clip from an old educational movie is turned into a searing psychodrama, on par with the classic films Leaving Las Vegas and Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer.&#13;
&#13;
The timing of the inevitable finale is perfect and hilarious.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>So I was not the only one who saw the "Punch" qualities in this lunchroom puppet...&#13;
No, no-- he's not a doomed loser!  Unhindered by his sickly-Popeye speech impediment, this happy gloating Punch actually manages some successful swipes, even at himself.  Lady Elaine Fairchild should take some cues.</reviewbody>
