Fifty years ago, Calvin Communications, a leading corporate industrial film producer of the 40s and 50s, created this short film as a spoof of their own corporate work. Using their regular actors, Calvin (whose clients included DuPont, Goodyear, General Mills and Westinghouse), would regularly produce parodies that were shown at company get togethers.
This film from the Prelinger Archives opens with a commentary that says, it is a groundbreaking replacement for the high cost of original, creative thinking. Some things never change.
