★★★ · Henry Ford, whodat? · Spuzz · 2023-10-03
Fun overview of that womder of wonders, the motor car. Hosted by Dave Garroway, the film first focuses on key inventions in science, Fire, the wheel, airplanes, etc. Then, this being a Chevrolet joint, the improtanve of the invention of the motor vehicle, with Chevrolet leading the way, babay! Maybe not entirely accurate. Anyways, it then discusses the many features a chevy has that make them trully wonderful. Pretty fun.
★★★ · Chevrolet promo from Jam Handy · John Nagle · 2020-05-16
Another of the many Jam Handy films made for Chevrolet. 1933. Stars Dave Garroway. Music warbles horribly. Long, slow lead-in. Not up to Jam Handy's usual standards.
