For Good Living (Brown Derby Beer Promo) (1937)

★★★★ · good history · ohmim · 2003-12-12

Being a homebrewer i enjoyed the history lesson . Watching the machinery of the day was interesting. They are not subtle with their selling techniques , but that was part of the camp fun.

★★★ · Be more healthy! Drink more beer! · Spuzz · 2003-06-01

This fascinating silent film, made in 1937 (?) has people talking first talking about how damn good the beeeer is that they've had. Heck one person comments, through his rolling comments, how healthy it is. We then turn to the manufacture of beeeer. And what a manufacure it is, although this looks almost simplified, it is nevertheless fascinating to watch the beer being made and canned (or bottled). Then in an attempt to persuade the store managers to... BUY MORE BEER! We then get cheap visual effects to try to hypnotise us into buying more beeeeer...

Very interesting historical document of the beer-making process. But I have to ask, does anyone know if this film was intended to be silent? I find it hard to believe that in 1937, long after sound came to movies, this was made without even background music.
