AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 9-25-2025

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films. And um we've watched I looked at our numbers uh because I I try to maintain a list of all the we've shown >> I'm skip >> and let's see I should I'll share this list as well with everybody in the comments on YouTube. Um, so this is uh what are we looking at here? Uh, we've watched, according to my uh list, we've watched 6,742 films. And there's a lot of duplicates in there, but probably not more than like, you know, several hundred duplicates. Uh, and this is our 1,454th show. So, wow, this is great. Uh, makes me very happy to share all this with you and spend all this time with you. Um, and, uh, so today we've got some films from different sources. So, I've been, of course, scanning in the morning when I can. um and some stuff from our collection, but also I've been scanning stuff or digitizing and helping process stuff from other collections, including the Pllinger archive where they've been, man, they for the last two and a half years, they have been kicking butt and have done thousands, several thousands of films that they've scanned that they've been uploading to the Internet Archive and then I've been helping them upload to YouTube and then I've been showing some of them. Uh, amazing stuff in there. So, I'm very happy to be part of that process because I was part of that first batch of getting stuff up at the Internet Archive. Um, so this is a made by Willard Films and this uh is is missing the title. Um, but it's a a driver safety film and it's filled with all sorts of amazing scenes. So, let's go ahead and watch this and maybe, you know, uh, somebody will be able to identify the title. All right, enjoy. >> Driver and in most cases he is here. During the past years, daytime night driving accidents increased. Why? Largely because motorists don't know about night driving. >> Wow, what a night. Just the night for an accident, you might say. Yetly few accidents occur on nights like this. Driving is too danger. Just >> Careful, dear. It's such an awful night. >> That's right, old fellow. Take it easy. Anything can happen a night like this. >> You don't have to be nervous, honey. I'm taking chances. >> And that's just why there are relatively few accidents on such a night. Under circumstances so obviously dangerous, everyone plays safe. But on a perfect such as this, with driving conditions at their best, accidents are at their worst. Well, judge for yourself. >> Isn't it a glorious night? >> It's perfectly thrilling. >> Come on, step on it. It's perfectly safe. Show her some speed. The Grahams are only a couple of minutes ahead. Let's beat them into town. >> Careful. I'm here blow. >> She loves it. Come on, step on the gas. >> Tired. Po. >> Oh, sort of. It was a grand party, wasn't it? >> There go David and Connor. >> Say, how fast are we going? >> Oh, I don't know. Not so very fast. >> Well, it seems awfully fast to me. This car isn't wide open. Show her some real speed. You know the road. >> David, be careful. >> Oh, I know every inch of the road. Why, I go over it almost every day. >> Well, I suppose David and Connie are home by now. >> I don't care if they are. I'm not going to have nervous prostration while you show off. >> Oh, look. >> Well, well, well. Poor David. Of course, he knew the road in daylight, but at night at high speed, he was into a curb and off the road before he realized it. Only the best of luck and a convenient pig pen saved him from tragic consequences. Well, cheer up, David. It might have been much worse, and in time, maybe Connie will forgive you. Night driving is always deceptive. Even the best of headlights have their limitations. And while the road ahead may appear perfectly clear, in daylight that very same stretch of road reveals the need for extreme caution in driving, the answer is never overdrive your headlights. Never drive so fast at night that you can't stop in the visible clear distance ahead. Safe speed is always dependent upon conditions. In daylight, on a smooth open road, this car races the wind in comparative safety. At night over this winding road, half that speed might be dangerous. But this driver is in a hurry. >> Why are you in such a hurry, Jean? You don't know this road. >> I know. I know. But if we don't get to Middle by 10, there won't be a room at any price. And Lord knows where there's another decent hotel. >> But you're always so careful. I don't see why. >> Yes, dear. But tonight, we're in a hurry. Oh, there's nothing to worry about. I've never had an accident in my life. But there's always a first time for >> Believe it or not, the period of most accidents is the period of lightest traffic from 1:00 to 6:00 in the morning. It's hard to believe that this car is in danger. He has the whole street to himself. Maybe he is driving a little faster than usual, but what of it? Here's a stop signal. But why bother to stop? Nobody else is up at this hour. And yet, look out. Too little. On any road at any speed, fatigue is a deadly enemy. During the early morning hours, your mind wants to go to sleep. At best, you're only half awake. And when you're guiding a ton and a half of automobile down an 8-oot lane, it's no time to catch up on your rest. For he's a jolly good fellow. At least that's what his friends say. And probably he is in a nightclub or at home. But behind the wheel of an automobile, on the boulevard, or on the highway, this man is a potential murderer or suicide. Of course, he thinks he's able to drive his car. But would you want to ride with this man? No. No indeed, nor will I. Cocktails and gasoline are a deadly mixture. Take the word of those who day after day are face to face with traffic tragedy. If you drink, don't drive. If you drive, don't drink. Remember way back when you were a kid, there was always a neighborhood bully who, by sheer strength of muscle and pure ugliness of disposition, spoiled the fun for all the smaller boys. But there is always a day of retribution for the bully. The two-fisted bully of yestery year is driving a car now. And how? He's the fellow who holds up all traffic on one entire side of the street until he can find an opening to suit his convenience. He's the fellow who comes busting in ahead of you after you've been standing in line patiently waiting for the traffic light to change. Discourteous, of course, and very dangerous. When the bully turns the corner, it's every man for himself. Pedestrians must take to their heels or take the consequences of his unreasonable selfishness. This type of driver ought to have a special license, but by his driving, you shall know him. Of course, he pays no attention to stop signs. They were meant for other people. Uh-oh, look what's coming. And look out. And of course, in the last chapter, the villain gets his just dessert. And in the end, everyone is happy except the villain. Why does a chicken cross the road? Well, why do intelligent human beings take their lives in their hands and dart across a congested street against the traffic light? Even a child knows better. >> Stop, look, and listen before you cross the street. Use your eyes and use your ears. And then use your feet. >> Nowadays, youngsters are learning how to be good pedestrians. In fact, the average school child of today is a far more intelligent and better behaved pedestrian than his parents. The school boy patrol has saved thousands of lives among school children. And if we only had sense enough to allow a little child to lead us, it would be the means of saving thousands of adult lives, too. Young fellow, our hats are off to you. You're doing a grand job. And while we're about it, let's give credit to the peaceime army in constant service, battling to send us on our way in safety. It's no easy job keeping you and me safe in traffic. Hundreds, yes, even thousands of this peaceime army have given their lives in this service. It never occurs to us to thank them or even to give credit where credit is due, but on the open road, they're the best friends we have. The best accidentrevention insurance is safe, certain stopping. And tests show that only 68% of cars on the road have safe brakes. Some brakes provide only fair weather safety. For example, this car stops safely enough under ideal road conditions. But now, let's water the roadway, duplicating the effect of rainy weather pavement, and see how well this car performs. All right, driver. Now, try that again. Here he comes. He slaps on the brakes. Ah, it took a wet, slippery pavement to reveal the fact that these brakes were not properly equalized. And a wet, slippery day is a mighty poor time to discover that brakes need adjustment. With positive equalized braking pressure, this car stops safely without a skid, even on this wet pavement. Motorcar manufacturers are utilizing every resource of science to build stauncher, safer motor cars. Through their unceasing research and testing, new metals have been developed, new methods devised to make certain that your car is completely dependable. Beneath their exterior beauty, the most modern of the new cars provide the protection of a steel floor welded together into a single unit of tremendous strength. Indeed, the modern car can endure without injury. Punishment which would have completely wrecked any car of a few years ago. Considered alone, the modern motor car is the most dependable and safest medium of transportation the skill of man could devise. But the final factor of safety lies in the hands on the steering wheel. Yours and mine. And remember, the smart way to drive is the safe way to drive. We can beat those one-time accidents by driving safely all the time. All those those scenarios uh are so great and because we have u a lot of drivers safety films that deal with that kind of like what led to the accident. uh some of those highway safety films films which I have not shown on this channel because they have uh actual footage of people that are dead or have been mangled uh horribly injured uh in car accidents but uh they there's one of them wheels of tragedy that kind of shows what led up to the accident and um you know there's all these there there's the person who's driving and then there's the passenger who's like Wait, you're falling asleep. Like, it's like, never mind. I'm not falling asleep. I know this road, you know, and so it's uh it's great to kind of see how far back that dates. Um, all right. Uh, let's watch a film from our collection. Uh, this is, uh, pictures of health, genetic platforms. Enjoy. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Looking at old family pictures is fun. They tell us what our grandparents and their grandparents looked like at an instant in time a long time ago. That's what the Franklin family is doing tonight. This is George Franklin and this is his wife Nora. David, their son, and Sally, their daughter. George is sharing with his family a picture of great greatgrandfather Franklin. [Applause] This is great great grandmother Linder. [Applause] [Music] Now, at this point in time, David and his sister Sally look like they have a long life ahead of them. However, three influences will shape the quality of that life. the genetic background inherited from their parents, their environment, and how they manage and direct their own lives. [Music] One generation creates the next. In the fertilized egg, one half of the chromosomes come from each parent. So, the result is truly a mix of the mothers and father's characteristics. These chromosomes link each of us with our past. They influence our present. They program our future. Sally and David each began life with a specific genetic blueprint, a unique platform upon which their entire lives will be built. David and Sally's parents, grandparents, even great-grandparents were all slender, of average height with fair skin and light hair and eyes. All reached a level of achievement indicating a shared ability and attitude toward success. physical characteristics. Some intellectual capacities were passed on from one generation to the next. But what about disease? What about the susceptibility to certain diseases that seem to run in families like diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, ulcers? Did David and Sally necessarily inherit these also? The susceptibilities are here in the chromosomes, in the genetic platform. These threads contain the information that will direct and guide the way we grow. But in almost every case, we have an effect on the outcome. [Music] A genetic platform is operational in each and every human being regardless of economic, racial or ethnic background. Each pair of chromosomes carries genes that determine physical characteristics like body size and shape, eye color, hair texture and color. The chromosomes and genes also determine a predisposition to certain types of diseases. Each of us can find out what our own predispositions are by looking back through our families. We can identify certain traits and characteristics that have been transmitted from generation to generation. Not with rigid precision, but with high probability and predictability, height, baldness, the shape and size of our faces and bodies and many other things. we can discover that certain members of our family had the same or similar types of illnesses. Well, if that's the case, is there anything we can do about what we've inherited? Or must our lives be a repeat of our parents and their parents' lives? Although we each operate with a specific genetic pattern, the single most important influence on our health and well-being is how we live [Applause] and where we live. To the extent that we can control where and how we live, we can affect our own well-being. In that way we can sometimes overcome the weaknesses or susceptibilities that we have inherited. There are certain diseases and conditions which are entirely transmitted from one generation to another like t-ax disease, cickle cell anemia and phenyl kitonora. Diseases over which we have no control. But that's not true of all diseases. In fact, with very few exceptions, illness is the result of combinations of many different factors. [Music] >> Attention, please. >> It's easier to catch a cold when you're run down. >> If you constantly eat too much, you'll get fat. And if you're genetically predisposed, more likely to develop heart disease. When you're exposed to chickenpox, you're more likely to catch it. >> There is no single determining element, genetic or environmental. But as medical knowledge and understanding increase on an almost daily basis, we are learning more and more about disease and causitive factors. >> Dr. Brown, call 37. Today, many states require that each newborn baby be tested shortly after birth for the rare disease phenyl catinora, PKU, a disease that is transmitted genetically. If undetected, the infant will become mentally [ __ ] and in some cases the disease is fatal. Since most hospitals now are equipped for these tests, the chances of early diagnosis and initiation of suitable treatment means that the progress of the disease may be stopped before metal retardation begins. Formerly, the urine of babies was examined routinely for the presence of PKU, but recently it has been found that examination of the blood is more reliable. This is an especially good example of knowledge and understanding providing a healthy start for life despite an inherited weakness. We also have inherited strengths, the pluses that we have received from our parents. [Music] We all come into the world the same way. We all come complete with a fully detailed program dictated by our genes and chromosomes. It's like building a house. The blueprint is a flat plan on paper full of details regarding size and shape and specifications, but with good materials and careful construction. A well-built, comfortable home will emerge. Each of us is born with a blueprint. And what we do and how we build on that plan is largely our own responsibility. If we're heavy, we can lose weight. If we're weak, we can get stronger. There are ways and means to take care of ourselves. It's up to us to make ourselves healthy, to reach for vitality, to build on our strengths. [Music] When it comes to health, it's up to us to be a go-getter to start the ball rolling. >> Others can only help or support. >> It is important to understand that no one thing is going to provide the magical key to health, happiness, and well-being. There is no magic, no secret word that will open the door. Life and health, like disease and illness, are qualities that are influenced by many different things. [Music] One of the best ways to learn about ourselves is to learn more about what went before. [Music] If your father and his father had diabetes or heart trouble or cancer, chances are that you are more likely to develop those diseases than a person whose family had no history of those illnesses. By knowing your family's history, you can prepare yourself for the possibilities of genetic predisposition to certain diseases and traits. What you do and how you choose to live your life play a more significant role in determining the quality of your life than any other factor. If your history shows trends toward certain illnesses, know and understand them and then take measures to avoid problems before they begin. Our genetic program is one which is created when life is created and provides the base for living. But it is only that an indication of strengths and weaknesses, predispositions and trends. It's up to us to do the best we can with the blueprint to build a life that diminishes our weaknesses and enhances our strengths. It is up to us to choose how we live that life. Understanding our genetic platform helps us live the fullest life possible. [Music] [Applause] So it looks like the consultant is an Alchult who is uh probably related to the person who made the film for Journal Films which is I believe it's Gilchel and um maybe a brother uncle um cousin is um at Georgetown. That's interesting. Uh all right. Um what do we got here? So many things. So many things. Um let's take a short walk down Trumbull Street and listen to the radio station. Uh this is a about a radio station uh based in Hartford, Connecticut and about Hartford, Connecticut. Enjoy. 8:00 Bob J. Carlo with the greatest music in the world. And good morning everybody. How are you today? Ah yes. What do you think? The misery is over at Mystery Phone. Uh-uh. Just go let your calluses relax for another few hours because beginning at noon time, we have a brand new phone number. A brand new >> Good morning everyone. It's 807 WP Cash Call Time on the Love and Morton Show. And right now, let's add another $2 to our growing jackpot. That brings us up to a grand total of $121. Stand by. We'll be making another cash call. Rebel Rouser rousing you out of that sack here on a Are you still in bed at 8 in the morning? Come on. I'm at him [Music] cash call on the WP cash call line. We have phone Mrs. Clarence Hamilton. Mrs. Hamilton says she's very elated we called her and she's all ready to play the game. >> Two big D degrees. >> Number one song here on your number one for winning station WDRC. The Beatles sing Let It Be. >> Mrs. Hamilton, do you know the current amount of contest cash in the cash call jackpot? >> No. No thanks. I'm just I'm not interested. W [Music] >> I'll tell you one thing. >> That ain't like any of the people that live on that block that I live on in Rocky Hill. [Music] A city can be more than a place to work. How much more depends on its people, on each one of us, and on what we choose to see when we look at a city? Do we see only the problems? Or can we look more closely and see also that a city is a place full of unbuilt possibilities. [Music] Oh, [Music] doo. [Music] bounded on the north by Church Street, on the south by Asylum Avenue, on the west by Anne Street, and on the east by Trumble Street. This is the site of the new Hartford Civic Center. The extent of the development to occur here is the result of an unprecedented joining together of public and private resources scheduled for completion in mid 1972. The complex will include a 10,000 seat coliseum, a large exhibition hall, on-site parking, an outdoor public commons, and an enclosed mall featuring restaurants, movie theaters, a wide variety of shops, and welle equipped facilities for a broad range of community services. In addition, a 23-story office building will be erected on the southeast corner of the site. The extraordinary diversity and concentration of these buildings will create a city within a city, a unique environment tailored to the pedestrian and offering a full range of activities 24 hours a day. [Music] [Applause] [Music] into the middle. [Applause] [Applause] Heat up [Music] [Applause] [Music] here. [Applause] [Music] Yeah. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] Much has gone into the development of the Civic Center site and much will come out of it. The Civic Center will be a financial shot in the arm, bringing an increased cash flow and its advantages to all the people of Hartford. Some specific economic benefits are these. The civic center will be self-supporting and will in addition produce a good deal of extra revenue for the city. It will attract the purchasing power of the suburbs back to the downtown area. It will result in greatly increased convention trade as well as in community oriented activities. It will create many new jobs both at the site itself and throughout the downtown area. It will stimulate other new building and construction. And it will raise the real estate value of the land surrounding the site, thus expanding the tax base and generating significant new funds for other urban redevelopment projects. [Music] The civic center becomes even more exciting when you take a broader view and think of what larger developments it can lead to. Experience in other cities has shown that no project is an island unto itself. A city is not a collection of single buildings. A city is a set of related human activities. The civic center itself points to the need for a comprehensive areawide approach to city planning. The need, for example, to plan now for the best way to handle the increased flow of people and cars that will come to the civic center site. And it is when you take such an overall view of the city that the potential of the civic center to act as a catalyst becomes most apparent. The civic center can be a magnet, a centrallylo force that pulls together other downtown areas, whether they're residential, cultural, or commercial. The civic center is a logical focal point, not only because of the diversity of life and activity it will contain, but because it will be an example of the kind of environment that could be extended throughout the city. The compactness of Hartford's downtown area presents a unique opportunity to think in terms of creating a walking environment. A city where the pedestrian would be king, where people could travel casually on foot throughout the central business district via a system of walkways running from a new transportation center at one end of town to Constitution Plaza at the other. Such a system would eliminate any conflict between people and cars since each would have its own right of way. Ample parking areas could be located at convenient spots between the walkways and the expressways, completing the link between the car oriented suburbs and the pedestrianoriented city through a coordinated effort. There are many directions in which the city can grow and develop. The important thing is that the new civic center has been designed to offer extreme flexibility, thus permitting it to play a major role in Hartford's redevelopment plans. The essential consideration of any urban redevelopment program must be the needs of the people. The fact that the Hartford Civic Center will attract everybody, involve everybody, and benefit everybody is what ensures its success. The civic center will provide a variety of new experiences and a place for people to come together. This prospect for the future is something pleasant to think about the next time you take a short walk to Trumbull Street. So, uh, hindsight gives us the benefit of looking to see how that all played out. And, uh, you guys mentioned in the comments what happened. Uh, and this story is told all over the United States in cities that are looking to revitalize their downtowns. And um some of them succeed, but a lot of them don't. Uh so yeah, there you go. And I like the idea. It's like, well, if we build this convention center, then we can raise money so we can uh help with housing. It's like, no, we're not going to invest money into housing initially. We're going to build this big thing that's going to benefit all the the developers and the contractors, all the commercial banks and all that stuff. And then if we make money from that, then that will somehow trickle down to the the people that actually live and work in the city. It's hilarious. All right. Um, so this film is an in this next film is an interesting thing to me. It's called Money Tree. It's from my collection and I was fascinated to see who made the film because I only have a couple of educational films made by this company. And they're all animated and it will make sense when you see what the company is, but this one's not animated. And so I'm now puzzling and I want to know the history of this company and making educational films because this one is really fascinating. It's called Money Tree and I'll let you figure it out. I'll let you watch and see what it is. Enjoy. The things that I say may only be for today. They may never last until you give me your love. [Music] Supply the reason to touch me, to hold me, to feel your life in mine. Show me one more time how to free my mind. Do you see what I mean? [Music] The truth has got to be seen. Say you know what I mean. The truth has got to be seen. [Music] [Laughter] And this is Jerry. And listen. Yeah, this is Jerry. Look, please don't hang up. I just want to talk to you for a minute, okay? All right. Um, just for a minute though. >> And maybe we could talk. Look, I don't want it to end this way. >> Jerry, I really don't want to. >> Not anymore. I'm sorry, but I don't want to go over it again. >> No more fighting, Jerry. That's the way it always ends up. >> And look, maybe we've got problems. All right, but we can solve them. Look, I mean, two years of marriage. >> No, Jerry, please. No more. Um, there's just nothing more to talk about. Jerry, I've really got to go now. The baby's crying. [Music] I'm sorry, Jerry. I really am. >> Why? Why does it have to end like this? Where did it fall apart? We didn't start out this way. How did we get so loused up, >> Jerry? It's too much. Oh, I I can't believe it. It is wild. It's just fantastic. >> It's kind of empty, isn't it? >> Well, it won't be. [Laughter] Jerry, look. Look there. We'll get We'll get one of those velvet couches for that side. >> Yeah. Yeah. And the dining room set can go over there. >> Yeah. Oh, that great looking TV set we saw can go there. And an end table would look great against that wall. >> Hey. Yeah. And a couple of pictures. >> Hey, aren't we forgetting something? >> Yeah. How are we going to pay for it? >> We can't. Not now. Anyway, >> I know, Jerry, but we'll manage somehow. Jerry, it's our own place. I don't care if we don't have anything but orange crates. Except I guess I did care. All our friends had new furniture. Besides, Jerry had this good job and I was working part-time. >> Oh, this is living. We can deliver it this afternoon. >> Well, >> it's beautiful, but with the blue trim on it. >> We'll take it. >> We really could afford the low down payment and $5 a week. And we were getting three whole rooms of furniture all at once. >> All you have to do is sign this and the furniture is yours. >> Hey, I thought the whole thing came to $399. How come it says here 527? >> Well, there's the interest and delivery charges. You are buying on credit, you know. >> You know, I forgot about that. >> Maybe you better read the rest of it. >> It's just a standard contract. A lot of that legal stuff. >> Yeah, it take a lawyer to read it. I know one understands these things anyway. >> It was really easy. I guess we didn't worry about it then. I mean, all the things we got made us feel well, married, like Jerry and I had a real home. Yeah, it was just great. Except for the payments. Always the darn payments. They lasted longer than the furniture. But maybe it wasn't just the furniture and things for the house. I guess the car didn't help either. Our old car was well pretty old. You know, it started needing repairs and costing money. I saw the new models on TV and man, they were great. Besides, I really did need something dependable, you know, to get to work and thought it was more car than we needed. And maybe it did have some options we really didn't need. But I guess I really didn't think about that at the time. After all, I had a steady job and the payments were only $95 a month. I mean, why shouldn't we have good things? Everybody else does. Yeah, it's easy. All you do is put a few dollars down and get low payments. We had everything. So why when when did we start to fall apart? Even then, I think Jerry and I were all right. We were in a little over our heads, but well, Jerry and I were in love. >> How did it go today? >> All right. They let off some guys in the fabrications, but >> Jerry Jerry, I saw the doctor today. >> He didn't go to work. Um, no. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. [Music] I'm pregnant. Jerry, >> you're what? >> A baby? Jerry, aren't you excited? >> I thought we were going to wait. >> Oh, you think it's my fault? Sure. [Music] I wanted kids. [Applause] [Music] It's just that we planned to wait until we got on our feet. At first, I thought the baby would well bring us together. But as the months went by, it just got worse. Everything piled up. Jerry and I drifted away from each other more and more. [Music] Um, Jerry. Jerry, I forgot to tell you. I bought a maternity dress yesterday. >> With what? >> Oh, come on, Jerry. I deserve something once in a while. Look at me. I'm awful pregnant, and that dress just made me feel better. Besides, I get up every single morning and fix your breakfast. >> Listen, we'd have money if you hadn't quit your job so soon. Oh, that is not fair. You know, the doctor said that I couldn't work. >> Yeah, sure. >> Maybe if we did the budget again. >> Oh, sure that stupid budget thing again. Listen, I thought I told you to make the car payment last month. How am I going to do that with $7? That's all there was left. And what about you? You didn't make the furniture payment either. >> Listen, what do you want from me? I work Yeah. overtime, 14 hours a day, 4 days last week. And what do I get from you? All I can do is go out and spend more money. >> I am sorry I ever met you. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] They won't let Let him have it. Did you see him? >> Yeah. Yeah. They let me see him through the window. >> He looks just like you. >> Yeah. >> Jerry, what's the matter? >> Nothing. >> Yes, there is what? >> The hospital wants $300 before they let you out of here. >> Well, did you tell them? I mean, when we get the money that we'll pay them. >> Yeah, they want cash. At least part of it now. >> Jerry, what are we going to do? >> I don't know. >> Jerry, where are you going? >> I don't know. I got to find somebody someplace. >> I guess that was the beginning of the end. I tried. So did Jerry. Maybe it was even harder on Jerry. If you had some collateral, something you owned that you could borrow against, but without security, well, I'm sorry. Look, son, you're already behind in five of your contract payments. [Music] Sure, I'm your friend, Jerry, but things are tough right now. I'd loan you the money if I had it. You know that, man. I'm sorry. I just can't do it. [Music] I wish the life that we knew [Music] didn't have to be through. We thought it would last. Best if we could share all along. [Music] Say you know what I mean. The truth has got to be seen. [Music] [Applause] and came home with the baby, but she was upset all the time. There were these legal things coming in the mail, collectors coming to the house. All we seemed to do was fight. I couldn't even keep my mind on the job. Uh Jerry, listen. Um hate to do this, but I got to let you go. Look, I don't want >> laid off. >> It was just a nice way of saying I was fired. >> Sure, someone had tried to attach my wages and I was having trouble at home, >> but but I never even thought about losing my job. I guess that was really the end. [Music] We can't just walk out on two years of marriage like this. I love you, Ann. What went wrong? I don't know, Jerry. Once in the beginning, I didn't think anything bad could ever happen to us. Maybe if we try, really try just once more. >> It's too late, Jerry. >> Yeah, I guess it is. Um, I really have to go now, Jerry. The baby's crying again. Jerry, take care of yourself. Yeah, you too. [Music] Do you know what I mean? Say you know what I mean. The truth has got to be seen. [Music] That's weird. Anson Williams name was not in the credits. It was credited to somebody else who So Anson Williams might be a staging name or something. Wow. So Oh my god. that film. So, one, so I hadn't watched it. I mean, I watched a little bit of it. I knew kind of what it was about, but oh my gosh. So, 1971, Hannah Barbara Productions, uh, they premiered the Hair Bear Bunch, Funky Phantom, and Pebbles and Bam Bam Show, and The Money Tree. Like, holy cow. I Yeah. So now I'm going to have to do some more research to see because that's just an incredibly depressing cautionary tale. There is nothing in there that gives the viewer any idea of what to do. So hopefully this is part of a like a whole program so that there's they show this is the cautionary tale. Then they talk about well this is how you get not get in this situation and this is how you plan your finances and you know don't overextend yourself and blah blah blah man. All right, I got to end it with something. End this with something sweeter or fishier [Music] seafood. [Music] >> Hi mates, I'm Skipper of the Yankee Clipper. Come inside our seafood galley for delicious fish and chips, crisp shrimp, clams, and oysters cooked right to your order. Whether you enjoy it at home or here, it's a great catch at the right price. Take it from me, Skipper of the Yankee Clipper. >> Yankee Clipper seafood. [Music] I don't know if that's going to wash out the taste of Money Tree. Holy cow. I'm still reeling from that. Uh but thank you for going through that journey with me. Uh cuz that was something else. Um the uh I didn't know I didn't notice it was Anen Williams in there uh until we started watching it. Um, and I didn't know it was going to take such a dive because that's the thing is so like that setup of the calling at the beginning and saying like, you know, I'm sorry, we should, you know, we'll figure out a way through this. Like normally that means that somewhere in the film there is this turnaround and they they do they went through this horrible time, but they somehow persevere and figure it out with the help of somebody. But no, this did not take that turn. This just continued to get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Holy cow. All right. I'm sorry.
