General Health Habits (1928)

★★★ · What promotes good health? · Wilford B. Wolf · 2005-08-05

A strange DeVry film from the late 1920s ("Communications" "Electromagnatism"). The film starts off with contrasting scenes of urban living (probably New York) and rural living, using the same title cards, asking what is missing. The best part of this film is the footage that used, since it appears to be generic footage, so it is great for repurposing. For the urban footage, a lot of street scenes, young boys wrestling in an alley, and an elevated train pulling into a station. About 5/6th of the way through the film we are finally told some of the recommendations, and some are bit odd, even…

This film doesn't really say much, it just presents images and asks what promotes health and what doesnt. It almost is too basic, like good and bad.
