The Five-Inch Bather (1942)
Short • 0h 2m
This is a wartime conservation film urging people to use less water in bathing, and we'll beat Hitler all the sooner for it. Fill your bath tub to a depth of only five inches and Goerring won't stand a chance.Britain being a rather damp Island, mostly due to standing right in the way of the Gulf Stream, water conservation seems likely to have been unnecessary. I can only assume that either the pipes were less likely to be in poor shapes (the drains certainly were) or fuel to heat the water would be better used elsewhere. I think I'll go with the last.It's all done so quickly and with such good humor (including a rendition of "What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor") that's there's little to object to.
