Let's Make a Sandwich (1950)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
This four-minute short was produced by the American Gas Association to help teach girls how to make the proper sandwich. We start off with a mother and daughter returning home from the movies. While the guests sit around and talk, mom and daughter go into the kitchen to prepare tuna rarebit sandwiches. There's no doubt that this here is a pretty silly film but since it's just four-minutes the thing flies by at a very quick pace and I must admit that it has a certain charm to it. It's certainly fun seeing some of the older household materials that were used back in 1950. At the same time I'm sure many would view this as being rather sexist since the "men" get to "relax" while the "women" are "expected" to go into the kitchen and fix a meal. There's another funny bit here where the narrator says that potato chips can be used and he reminds people that they're not just picnic food anymore and that they can be used whenever.
