"Washing Up is Done by a Washing Up Machine"
Here is a lesser example of the wartime British we're-all-in-this-together documentary. It's not defiant like "London Can Take It", but the sort of it's-good-for-you lecture you got from from your mother after she told you to taste it. How do you know you won't like it? Because it smells just like the time you put the cauliflower in the pressure cooker for half an hour, mom. Then she made you taste it and when your prediction turned out right, you got told it was good for you, so you should eat it anyway
There are some good parts to this short, like the time-lapse photography that shows you how fast your mustard greens will grow in your broken tea cups and the running of a cooperative local kitchen. There are also a couple of bad points, like when we are showing the Turners in their kitchenette, eating breakfast and discussing mother's allotment -- that's what we in the US would call a victory garden. It looks like the room is about thirty feet long and they are crammed into the window end.
