Dating Do's and Don'ts (1949) Part 2

This social guidance "how-to" film has received more camp accolades than any other, and deserves it. Alan Woodruff ("Woody") receives a ticket to admit one couple to the upcoming Hi-Teen Carnival. "One couple," Woody reflects. "That means a date! Not like just going around with the crowd!" Woody decides to ask Ann Davis, who, the narrator points out, "knows how to have a good time." With her perpetual squint and chipmunk cheeks, Ann (pronounced "Ay-yun" by the actors in this film) is the perfect companion for super-nerd Woody. At crucial moments in the date, the narrator stops the action and presents Woody with several possible options for his actions. Happily, Woody makes all the correct decisions and ends up walking home from Ann's doorstep whistling with satisfaction at a job well done. "Thanks so much," says Ann with a toothy grin. "I had LOADS of fun." Classic Coronet! Rare (but incomplete) Kodachrome version.

You mean Mom and Dad dated other people before they got married? How progressive. Not only that, but Dad is actually helping to dry the dishes. Theirs is an open marriage.

My dad gave me $20, two condoms and said "Don't bring anything home."

"I'd invite you in for a bite to eat if it weren't so late."

Yeah, Woody could go for another five or six hotdogs.

"Why, we'd have fun at the carnival, you and I, wouldn't we?"

"Yes."

"Well, Woody and I are gonna have fun in just that way."

Incest much? XD
