A/V Geeks

By Jupiter – Wilding Picture Productions, 1941, 26 min Finally, a film for the rude parents! Veteran Hollywood character actor Chick Chandler plays Thornton Poindexter, a hapless everyman who learns that a little kindness goes a long way when the Roman god Jupiter allows him to re-live a particularly miserable day. This film was originally made for Marshall Fields’ employees, who must have had a severe enough courtesy problem to warrant the expense of making such a film.

This film is available on Atomic Age Classics Vol 1 : Manners, Courtesy & Etiquette DVD

Health is a Victory (1942)

American Social Hygiene Association / Willard Pictures, 11 minutes

This short, which focuses on gonorrhea, or the “Great Sterilizer,” takes place at a factory lecture. Such preventative lectures were commonplace in a time when a venereal disease epidemic could devastate productivity in a company town. While the film is not explicit, it manages to place the blame for the epidemic on men who frequent prostitutes.

This film is available on the Atomic Age Classics Vol 4 : Venereal Disease and You DVD

Know For Sure (1941)

A Hollywood-produced melodramatic short that deals with prophylaxis, diagnosis and clinical treatment of syphilis. Discusses follow-up treatment, sources of infection and community control. Unfortunately, this is edited version which is missing the graphic syphilis sores on male genetalia and the demonstrations on how to use condoms. (I say “unfortunately” because those scenes give the film a different tone than the milder version you’ll see here. Still looking for a full copy of original version.)

This film is available on Cinema VD DVD-R
