The trick is to not look like you're in a confused panic, hacking away at the meat with the thing dancing all over the table (like I do with a turkey). Dividing steaks? Who ever does that?

A classic mid 50's production featuring Harvey Korman who would later become so familiar on TV. Almost high school level acting but appropriate for the subject matter. The perky music sets the carefree tone of this educational film…
