Hey Sailor! Antique Naval VD, Training, and Ephemeral FilmsPost an Event »
In honor of Veteran's Day, Oddball Films presents Hey Sailor! Antique Naval VD, Training, and Ephemeral Films, a program of short films and cartoons from the 1930s-1950s centered on those brave fighting seamen who sailed the seas of yesteryear. We've got VD scare films, awkward enema lessons, Popeye cartoons, sailor chimps, musical numbers, and naked sailors galore, all on original 16mm film from our massive stock footage archive. We're declassifying two homoerotic rarities from the US Navy: dozens of naked sailors go full frontal for their medical exam and a hands on posture lesson in Bluejackets Personal Hygiene (1943) and get down and dirty in the infirmary with an uncomfortable excerpt of Giving an Enema (1944). Check your privates, private in the Navy training film The Pick-Up (1944), starring an unlucky schmuck who picks up a nasty case of the clap just in time for his furlough. More sailors make a sucker's bet on a game of poker and some loose women in One a Minute (1944). What sailor program would be complete without a Popeye cartoon, and on that note we bring you an original Fleischer brothers short: In the Army Now (1936) when Popeye and Bluto show off their greatest hits when Olive Oyl declares her love for a man in uniform. Shorty the Chimp dons his sailor cap and heads to the high seas in Chimp the Sailor (1950). Plus, a boatload of 1940s Sailor Soundies including Heaven Help a Sailor and the bizarrely hulatastic Little Grass Shack, excerpts from Swim and Live (1944) double projected with Vintage Beefcake footage and more naval surprises for the early birds!
