what film was that?
i'm curious as to what film you are referring to. the only robinson family i remember in film was mrs. robinson's family from "the graduate" and i don't think we ever got a peek at her dishwasher, although we got a peek at a lot of other things she had. she didn't seem to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, preferring to corner innocent young men in her daughter's bedroom.
or could it be "swiss family robinson"? i never saw that film but maybe they had a hotpoint hidden in that treehouse somewhere! if i lived in a treehouse on an island i would definately have a kitchenaid hanging off one of the branches.
just curious as to what you were referring to. someone will probably be able to give you an intellegent answer here.
