Body Care and Grooming (1948)

★★★★★ · Very funny · Master Zhlubbish · 2002-10-03

This movie is so sexist, it's like a farce. Very amusing and educational.

★★★★★ · So Terribly Wrong · jenniferger · 2008-08-28

I am horrified at the idea of "soap, hot water, and plenty of elbow grease" on one's facial skin... And I feel really bad for all the kids who had acne or eczema back then and were told it was because they didn't keep their skin "clean" enough... and no doubt both problems were made much worse by scrubbing with alkaline soap and hot water. Also, the announcer actually had to point out to me what was "wrong" with the girl in the first scene; she looked FINE to me! It's a great video that showcases some bygone attitudes and ideas.

★★★★ · Sexist? Just less Gay Guys In Those Days · JayKay49 · 2016-09-24

Chicks went through the trouble of looking and acting like girls, and were therefore attractive to boys. Consequently, boys acted like boys, did not develop an aversion to girls, and try to look and act like them, and so Presto! Two different genders! Oh...scuzee...that was "sexist?" Enjoyed this movie although there are 10 more on this site where the chick combs her hair for like, an hour.

★★★ · Grooming for stupid college students · Spuzz · 2003-02-05

For those slooow students, who have someohow gotten into college, yet can't seem to CLEAN THEMSELVES. we have this film to teach you the BASIC facts of good grooming.. although it's rather strange when the narrator says to women that hair 'should be washed every 2 weeks'. Who, honestly were the filmmakers trying to fool?
