Natural Habitat1973

In NATURAL HABITAT ... Ralph Arlyck, through devastatingly well-selected and well-edited images –an airline hostess explaining the safety features of her plane, a girl selling Teflon pans in a department store, post office employees adapting to the pace and rhythm of their machines–offers an uncomfortably accurate view of the robot-like patterns of our daily job routines. – Arthur Knight, Saturday Review, June 10, 1972.

... a truly outstanding example of documentary montage whose precision of control creates a profoundly revealing comment on the dehumanization of urban life. – Owen Shapiro, festival judge

I would place this film among the top entries at any festivals where I have seen it. – Edgar Daniels (Mr. Daniels has written about NATURAL HABITAT in the National Observer, Filmmakers Newsletter, and the Journal of Popular Culture.)
