★★ · Where's the terrifying Esso sign mention? · Spuzz · 2012-06-09
Pretty average rah-rah film for Esso execs about the history of Esso up to 1950. Using only pitures and narration, we see How Esso developed, it's creation of products and how different historical events affected the business (Not much, see more oil!) Nothing to write home about.
