★★ · Sign Up For Farm Labor! · Spuzz · 2018-01-09

Seemingly endless film detailing college students enthusiasm to get into ANYTHING war specific, A couple of seconds is spent on each aspect of the war effort, before hurriedly moving on to the next aspect. Obviously quantity over quality is the factor here. Some interesting shots though, of students cheerfully signing up for farm labor, and the most peculiar shot, of soldiers-to-be sickly exiting what is said to be the 'gas chamber'.
