Subject: Poor Aunt Martha!
Once again, for all who don't know, I'll always jump through hoops to see anything related to food, as they provide probably the more hilarious films here. This 'Your Life's Work' film doesnt dissapoint as it shows all the hardships of running a restaraunt!
We begin amazingly, by showing a woman with the largest bouffant possible chowing down. The narrator explains to us that everyone likes to eat, but everyone doesn't like the bother of preparing it! So that's why we have restaraunts. A GREAT profile of what kind of restaraunts were availible in the 1950's are then shown, with great names for them as well. The main focus on this bis being a restaraunt manager. Not everyone can be one, as we focus on one Aunt Martha, who may make the best pie, pudding and muffins. But when she opens up her own restaraunt, it fails because she didn't have the financial know-how and besides, it was on a side street where noone went down, "which didn't occur to Aunt Martha". (LOL). This film sums up by briefly going over education (no physics this time kiddies) and then ending.
Somewhat less-patronizing narration this time out, and more focus on women. I think there's a connection. Reccomended!
