1960s US Navy training film shows how to succeed with brunettes

A US Navy training film produced in 1967 offers advice on how to succeed with brunettes

The National Archives just posted a 16-minute US Navy training film produced in 1966 on proper etiquette in dealing with brunettes, the New York Daily News reported.

It’s part of a stash of 2,700 films and videos received from the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Center and opens an entertaining, at times intentionally tongue-in-cheek, look at America in the mid-1960s.

Don’t keep your date waiting, the narrator advises because, “Let’s face it, a good looking girl isn’t going to wait around for anybody.”

The film, which would surely set off a political firestorm today if anything of the sort was produced, sets out the do’s and don’ts of dealing with a woman in four settings: picking her up to go to a restaurant, seeing a movie, attending a small gathering at a private home, and escorting her to a formal affair.
