They don't make 'em like this anymore!

How to Get Killed in One Easy Lesson (1943)
Starring: Stephen McNally, Barry Nelson, and an Anonymous Narrator
Director: Anonymous
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars

A captured Japanese sniper explains how American soldiers make themselves easy targets.


I've had to sit through many, MANY training films and video presentations over the years... and very few have been as entertaining as "How to Get Killed in One Easy Lesson". Maybe if they were, I wouldn't feel like going to "training" was such a waste of time.

Take a few minutes out of your day to watch this WW2-era short film... maybe you, too, can learn how not to be seen! (I wonder if someone working on "Monte Python's Flying Circus" might have seen this film as a very young man? There are several similarities between it and some of the more famous sketches on the show.)
