...Hotel phone operators spot him easily: he is the fel low who asks to be called at 5 a.m., and again at 5:30, "just to make sure." By 6:30, he has gobbled down break fast, swallowed a Dramamine pill, and scoured the sleeping town for a six-pack of cold beer.

The film - either color or black and white - comes in a flat pack that slides into the camera with no threading necessary; and the 31-in. by 41-in. pictures are developed and printed by means of a chemical process built into the film.
