Beginning to Date (1953)

★★★★★ · I enjoyed this movie because... · skioa · 2009-06-10

'George' and 'Bill' (not their real names )were my brothers. 'George' was 14 and 'Bil'l was 15 at the time. It took another year but 'George' finally did get taller, about 5'9". Today, 'George' is a lawyer and Bill is a doctor. We really enjoyed watching this again after all these years. Yes, 'George' is happily married to a lovely lady who is shorter than he is. We also found another movie 'Why Vandalism" that "Bill" was in a year later. Thank you for making these available. We were definitely entertained.

Amazingly, she accepts. Anyways, the other kid clumsily asks his date on the phone. Soon, they're off meeting the parents and then off to the date…

Beginning to Date (film #198 on Prelinger Archive). This Encyclopedia Brittanica film is livelier than most EB films, probably because it covers a classic genre: dating. The film features a bunch of junior high school kids going to their first dating party. Unlike most films of this type, the kids seem very realisticÂÂthey vary widely developmentally in both physical appearance and emotional maturity, which is typical of this age group. The most entertaining couple is George and Mildred. Although their names make them sound like senior citizens (and they probably are today), George is a…

Before I start, I want to make it very clear that I have never seen this video. Friends who are nearby and somewhat helping me write this have, but I have not. So don't take my review too seriously. Cuz yeah... I havn't actually WATCHED the video. I'm glad thats out of the way. Hi, I'm his friend, and I've actually seen the movie. So this might be slightly more helpful than anything he has to say. This movie is mainly about two couples (george&mildred, and Bill&helen)who are going to a dance, and scenes are repeated when they make common dating mistakes. There is a rather long and pointless…
