Fairbanks production telephone documentary is excellent
One of the most entertaining documentaries I’ve seen about the telephone. The 1965 film gives a history of communications, the importance of the telephone and how to properly use it(of course 1965 was before the push button, memory dial, wireless #phone, and 911 emergency system). An Eddie Fairbanks Production, it was very well acted, directed, and creatively written(using some effective animation to illustrate points).
We Learn About the #Telephone
While the gender/role reinforcement in this piece are on par for a film of this era, (The Sergeant of the all-male Police Station fails to so much as register a hint of acknowledgement of young Suzy’s dream to “Be a Policeman” when she grow up… An all-female bank of operators using equipment maintained exclusively by men.) The ethnic diversity of the cast is commendable.
The mechanics of telephone operation, etiquette, and function are illustrated quite exceptionally, featuring excellent close-up shots of telephone company relays and machinery.
Additionally, many of the voices of the animations are voiced by an uncredited Mel Blanc
