Truly daft moi short
malcolmgsw31 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This is a truly daft Ministry of Information short.Jean Gillis and Rene Ray play dancers in a nude review.Coming out of a theatre one day they see a woman collapsed on the pavement.It turns out that she has been overselling in a munitions factory.This is enough to inspire Gillis to give up dancing and become a munitions worker.She subsequently encourages Ray to join her.Then at the end they are all about to leave the factory when they are told they must work another 4 hours which naturally enough they all agree to do and give a thumbs up at the end of the film.Now who in their right mind would have been persuaded to leave their job to cope with a 14hour day.It seemed more like slave labour.They had a lot to learn about propaganda
