Description:
This documentary presents a surprisingly touching look at Robert Shields, a performer who started by impersonating a robot outside a Hollywood Wax Museum. In the 1970s, he and his wife Lorene Yarnell gained national recognition on their CBS variety show, "The Shields & Yarnell Show." Their seemingly silly performances unexpectedly influenced a distinctive artistic movement. The film examines this surprising impact, showing how Shields’ commitment to joyful nonsense connected with audiences and inspired many. Beyond the humor and impressive stage work – including memorable street skiing in San Francisco – it's a gentle look at creativity, connection, and the strength found in following unusual dreams.
