A few weeks back, I wrote here about the Bureau of Motion Pictures that was organized by Robert Riskin, Oscar-winning screenwriter for It Happened My Night, and father of my friend Vicki, a former president of the WGA. The film office was a division of the Office of War Information.
As I mentioned, the BMP made a series of films to show the American way of life for presentation throughout Europe during WWII. One of the most notable, Hymn of Nations, which I embedded in that previous article, even received an Oscar nomination for Best Short Documentary. That along with a couple other were especially popular, even with American audiences. And this is one of those. It's a charming little piece called, Autobiography of a Jeep.
