war no war talk
It's an MGM John Nesbitt's Passing Parade short. The New Roadways refer to research being done in America for the benefit of humankind unlike the constant news of war and famine.
It's meant to be an antidote to the constant war talk in 1939. It's a lot of new materials. It's early solar power. It's research on mice. Finally, it's plastic surgery. In this, they suggests work on soldiers from the first World War, but they choose to concentrate on a young girl's face. It would have been interesting to see some real work on real injured soldiers. Maybe, that would be counter to the premise of getting off the war talk. In the end, this short is too scattered and struggles to commit to its premise. Parts of it is interesting.
