Everyday Courtesy, “A Coronet Film (Second Edition)”, 1967,

“Courtesy in connection with invitations, telephone conversations, introductions and entertaining guests. DISCUSSES COURTESY IN CONNECTION WITH INVITATIONS, TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS, INTRODUCTION & ENTERTAINING GUESTS.”

“In a talk before his class, Jeff defines courtesy as consideration for otherpeople. This involves both courteous speaking and courteous listening. Correct forms of introduction, oral and written invitations and acceptances, respect for one’s elders and other social amenities are shown.”

“Ken Smith sez: Possibly the first feature to star John Lindsay, who later achieved immortality as “Woody” in Dating Do’s And Don’ts. In this film he plays “Bill Anderson,” a young fellow who proudly shows his mother around the “courtesy” displays in his classroom at Sunnyside School. This scenario allows the narrator to teach us the time-worn fundamentals of social courtesy (see As Others See Us and How Do You Do for better examples), but the only thing you’ll remember from this film is Woody, who is a much better actor here than he was later in life. A film with lots of potential, but no payoff. Remade by Coronet in 1967. “Mrs. Anderson” later played another mom in Good Table Manners, and “Miss Barton,” Bill’s teacher, could very well be a robot.
