The item consists of a videocassette containing copies of amateur, experimental and television film items made by, attributed to, or featuring Oscar C. Burritt.

Oscar C. Burritt introduces "The Lady from Shanghai" [1969]: Film enthusiast Oscar C. Burritt introduces a television broadcast of the 1947 Orson Welles film.
