★★★ · Historical snippet of daily life · Graham W · 2009-12-18
They're not as funny to us today because we've lost some of the context, but they're a goldmine of info to historians. Most films cover important or big events whereas these snippets record daily life.
★★ · Malinkcrodt employees, rejoice! · Spuzz · 2003-07-30
Quite strictly a company film made for employees, this film features plenty of "comedy" made by Malinckrodt employees for the amusement of their employees. Plenty of employees are mentioned by name, doing "comedy" only they could understand. The "appendix operation" gag was funny enough, but there are plenty of scenes that will leave you scratching your head. Still worth the novelty value though.
