Please read & note: This is a Rights holding DVD created & produced by me and is not factory made or sealed. My DVDs are not the quality of todays Modern DVDs or Bluray discs. If you are looking for this kind of quality then these discs are not for you. Please note this when purchasing, but also know that all of the films are very watchable. All pictures are actual screen captures from the DVDs. I strive to produce the best DVD’s possible from the sometimes VERY old Public Domain material. Films that are public domain are unpreserved and not professionally re-mastered. I re-master all of my films myself to the best possible quality achieveable. To keep my prices as low as possible all my DVDs are delivered in plain paper DVD sleeves and the DVDs title will be labeled on the back of the DVD envelope. This way you can write the contents of the DVD on the DVD yourself if you want to. (See picture). All of my DVD’s come with a menu for easy film selection. 　 9 INSTRUCTIONAL / SOCIAL GUIDANCE FILMS MADE OR PRODUCED BY CENTRON ON DVD 　 Film 1: “What About Drinking?” (1954) B&W Runtime 11 minutes Susan answers the phone at the swinging party they’re having and finds out that 2 of their classmates were drunk and hit a pedestrian with their car. Instead of reacting with horror, the Kansas kids say, “Gosh”, in probably one of the worst acting I’ve ever seen. This soon spills into a conversation about the demon liquor, some kids, like Sally, insist alcohol is the root of all evil, and then there’s Ted who, in a sudden burst of over-actitis, starts talking a storm about why he’s in favor of teen drinking. Make sure you catch the flashback scene with Jack and his Dad when Dad says, with tears almost in his eyes, “a drink before dinner in the evening is just about the best thing I know of to settle your nerves and give you an appetite.” HUH?? This is a MUST see!! 　 Film 2: “Discipline During Adolescence” (1958) B&W Runtime 16 minutes This is sort of a Centron “discussion film” for parents (though it was not made by Centron). Steve’s parents are worried about him because he’s been staying out late every night, neglecting his schoolwork, and generally having a bad attitude about things. Steve’s mom, amazingly enough, wants to deal with this by ignoring it, because this tactic worked with the teenaged son of one of her friends. Steve’s dad is all for punishment, but he decides to try it Mom’s way after she talks him into it. Unfortunately, Steve’s behavior just gets worse, so Dad steps in and lays down the law, grounding Steve for a week and cutting off his allowance. This means Steve can’t take his girlfriend to the big school dance, an end-of-the-world outcome for a 50s teen. So, while the narrator asks us what we think about Steve’s parents, we see Steve looking at the want ads, obviously in preparation for leaving home. Steve’s parents portray the simplistic parenting extremes of total lenience vs. unfairly harsh discipline, but I think that’s supposed to be the point. The fact that it’s more complex than that is strongly implied, making this a more intelligent film than I was expecting. Of course, it would only really be valuable if intelligent discussion and guidance followed, which is not always how educational films were used. The film’s portrayal of 50s teen life is appealingly corny. 　 Film 3: “Responsibility” (1953) B&W Runtime 13 minutes Teaching teenagers to come up with their own sense of responsibility. “Responsibility” is well acted, directed, and filmed, but this 1953 script is too moralistic. Hank had some responsibility but not enough at times. Tale told of one Hank Evans, popular, good looking, and with a curious hairdo. He seems to coast through life on his looks and his passable education.. but all of this comes to a head when he’s not making the grade in school! Why he doesn’t redo his algebra, he skips the reading assignments and gets stage fright during the debate finals! Even though all of this happens, he still gets nominated for class president and runs against his friend, who of course, is smarter, less sure etc. Who will win?? It’s a tie! Principal Gordon, who has been narrating all throughout states that the election will be decided by this one absentee ballot.. Who would YOU vote for? 　 Film 4: “What About Prejudice?” (1959) B&W Runtime 11 minutes This film deals with prejudice-Since they never actually show the individual it is directed to, you don’t know if is racial, religious, or ethnic. In 1959, there was plenty of it to go around ( unfortunately, just as it still is today). 　 Film 5: “Cooking: Terms and What They Mean” (1949) B&W Runtime 10 minutes A corny film but I loved it anyway. Margie, a new bride, ruins her first chocolate cake because she doesn’t know the meaning of basic cooking terms like “stir” and “boil.” Fortunately, the narrator explains all of these terms to her, and consequently she gets to bake a new cake before her husband comes home, so he never learns of her first cooking disaster. But there are many meals to come, and if Margie is that clueless, disaster in the kitchen is only a matter of time. This is a cute, charming home ec film that says more about the gender roles of the time than it does about cooking. It would have been better, I think, if Margie had been allowed to talk, but still, her facial expressions are priceless. And the food, as expected, looks uniformly terrible (we’re talking the successful dishes). There’s even cheesy organ music in the opening and closing, though this is certainly not a Brighter Day in Your Kitchen. Highly recommended. 　 Film 6: “Understanding Others” (1959) B&W Runtime 11 minutes Argues that a person should be judged by his/her true worth and ability, rather than by economic background or social skills. Seeing things from other people’s perspective is a special gift that can really shape individuals and a society for the better. This old film does a great job with showing how it can effect your understanding of other people. 　 Film 7: “How to Use Classroom Films” (1963) B&W Runtime 14 minutes Overview on how to exactly choose your film for your class. Goodness! You mean, you just don’t look at a title? No no no! You must consult the librarian, read catalogs, read the overview, read recommendations, and also to try to view the film yourself! On the plus side though, the classroom is set up well. Most especially the writing on the chalkboard. Who can write like that except a stenographer? 　 Film 8: “A Citizen Makes a Decision” (1954) B&W Runtime 17 minutes Slightly odd docu-drama about one Homer Keith, and the decision he has to make about (I think) what should be done with the river because of the flooding that happened. Hi gut feeling was to dam the thing, but after talking to people, going to wild meetings (check out the growling speech the pro-dam person spurts out) and talking to his son, he’s un-decisive, saying he’ll vote for the person he believes will solve the problem best, Which is odd because I thought it was a Dam yes/dam no vote. All of these people are consulted, but curiously, women are given the brush over from Homer. Even his wife doesn’t get an opinion about the vote, it almost appears that she’s not going to vote anyways because, well, who’s listening to her anyways? 　 Film 9: “The Speech: Function of Gestures” (1950) B&W Runtime 9 minutes An intentionally funny Centron “Speech” series short. Dan Palmquist plays George Johnson, a.k.a. “Old Stone Face”, a bad speechmaker who makes his audience want to be somewhere else. Why? Because he bores everybody stiff. Or, more plainly, he doesn’t use gestures (and he also gives a lame speech on how some people of Africa are very short while others are very tall). Then there is John, a GOOD speechmaker because he uses gestures. He was played by Herk Harvey, who also directed this film (and over 400 other Centron shorts). 12 years later he would also direct the cult classic horror film “Carnival of Souls”. The differences between George and John are explained throughout the film, while strange animations of George’s body and mind wrapped around in rope and an extra arm growing out of his head are shown. The narrator goes on to say that even speakers like George gesture naturally in conversation in familiar surroundings, like with his wife. The strangest part is near the end of the film where the narrator tells us that it wasn’t aimed at a general audience but at George himself to correct his speaking habits. But George still doesn’t perfect gestures, as he is drunk in the end (I think). Highly recommended! 　 I claim ownership and rights to this media.
