Officer Recruitment 1961 Style
This was a recruiting film produced in 1961, and is said to have been made, at least in parts, in Quatar. This was a part of a lesson I attended in about 1967.

We are certainly turning back the years now.

Apart from Don and I, there cant be too many people who remember these films.

I wonder if there is a web site that has all these old films on them?

How long do these films last?
