Design for Dreaming (1956)

A woman dreams she gets an invitation from a mysterious man (dressed like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon) to attend MOTORAMA, General Motors’ traveling roadshow of all things modern. Future cars with rocket styling. Future kitchens with a dome oven and rotating refridgerator. Architecture straight out of The Jetsons. Did I mention this is a musical? After sitting in the show cars she dances a latin solo on a futuristic stage, then Tuxedo Mask returns to whisk her into tomorrow in his gold rocket car, the 1956 Firebird designed by Harley Earl! Scenes of a future metropolis are glimpsed as they reach the end of the runway…. * Sigh.* A perfect film.
