Classic 1958 Video Documentary about Office Gossip



While trying to address the problems of gossip in the workplace, this film does an excellent job of offending everyone involved – the overreacting manager, the nosey secretary and the chattering female grapevine participants. Shown to audiences nowadays, you can see folks flinch every time a female employee is referred to as a “girl”

Moral: The secretary is the best person to get information around!

The women in this film all look like they belong in a Women's Prison Movie. The woman who plays "Sally" would make a great prison guard. These sereotypes in this film are staggering. The "girls" are shrill gossips and the manager (who of course in those days HAD to be male) is a hapless buffoon.
