This high production value 16mm reel from my collection is typical of the kinds of films that Bell Telephone was making in the 60's and 70's for business training purposes. This cast contains many actors that became well known in television roles in the 70's, and these kinds of industrial films were highly sought after work in those days because they paid well, and usually used large casts and original music composed and performed just for the project. This reel shows us that using your telephone system improperly and having bad telephone etiquette can cost you your business! FRAAAANNN!!!!! As usual I transferred the film with my own Telecine and color corrected to taste. Enjoy!

Celluloid gold
Brings back memories of positions I've had in the past. For years I programmed phone and voicemail systems. But if the user doesn't apply the proper functionality, all you got is an expensive paper weight. What was true in the 60's and 70's, is still true today in business.
Drive up your anxiety
Poor mister Davis looses his job and becomes a superintendent at an apartment building and Charlie is sent off to Walton’s Mountain.
Did I make it in before BBC claimed copyright on this one?
He should call AAA and quit yelling at his employees.
50 years later, it's even worst! La plus ca change…
None of the training films I've had to sit through were nowhere near as entertaining….
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge!
Geeze, they should make the tech support robot at Comcast watch this video… It might learn a thing or few! 🙂
Ike from The Waltons, lol.
I want to know how that sweet callamatic auto-dialer worked.
Four years later, Pat Harrington went on to be Schneider, the superintendent on One Day At A Time. This was such a fun video!
Oh those skirts secretaries had to wear were short then.
