UP THE LADDER!!!

*I'M ALL RIGHT JACK (1959),
In postwar Britain, tricky Bertram Tracepurcel plans to get an Arab
arms contract for his missile company then arrange for a strike so that
his partner Sidney Cox gets the work at a higher price. Central to the
scheme is Tracepurcel's innocent nephew, naive university graduate
Stanley Windrush, just back from the war, whom he persuades to take a
job on the shop-floor, knowing he is bound to cause union problems.
With shop steward Fred Kite always ready to assert workers' rights,
trouble is indeed assured, though not quite in the way Tracepurcell and
Cox intended. Hilarious pastiche of '50s class struggles, with a
brilliant performance by PETER SELLERS as the union shop-steward, this
film will have you laughing if you have liked any of the Ealing
comedies, are a PETER SELLERS fan, or just think that maybe the means
of production should be controlled by the state after all. Prod: ROY
BOULTING. Dir: JOHN BOULTING. Wr: Frank Harvey, JOHN BOULTING, Alan
Hackney. Phot: Max Greene. Ed: Anthony Harvey. Cast: IAN CARMICHAEL,
TERRY THOMAS, PETER SELLERS, MARGARET RUTHERFORD, RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH,
IRENE HANDL, DENNIS PRICE. 105 mins. NFVLS.


*MY BIG CHANCE (1977),
An employee and his boss confront each other. The boss' cliches about
the future of the business are illustrated by images on the screen. The
future for the company and the right people is bright, but this
employee is fired. Prod Co: Swinburne Institute of Technology Film and
Television Dept. Dir: Dennis Tupicoff. 2 mins. NFVLS.


*THE PETER PRINCIPLE, (1970),
Thirty years ago, Dr. Laurence J. Peter (1919-1990) came up with the
startling - yet somehow unsurprising - proposition that the world is
dominated by incompetents.
The "Peter Principle" proposes that, in any hierarchical organisation,
an employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence, and that is
where he stays. By extension, actual "work" can only be accomplished by
those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.
In this snazzy little photo-primer, Peter points out some of the
dangers of working in a hierarchy. For the individual, there are real
dangers of stress, while for the organisation there are the obvious
penalties of inefficiency and incompetence. Pick up a copy of the book,
and, yay, even its sequel, THE PETER PRESCRIPTION, down the local Op
Shop. It'll probably only cost you 25 cents, but its true value would
be incalculable. 25 mins. NFVLS.


*CHOCOLATE (1970),
Using the old tv-ad mainstay, people taste what they do not know to be
a cocoa bean and try to guess what it was. We also get to see the
manufacture of chocolate, from the extraction of the nuts from the
cocoa buds to the addition of sugar to the chocolate powder. Prod Co:
Films Incorporated. Prod,Dir: Frank Buxton. ( - Buxton directed shows
like MORK AND MINDY, and HAPPY DAYS, and did voicework on BATFINK).
Appearing: WOODY ALLEN, JONATHAN WINTERS, JOANNE WORLEY. 4 mins. ALC.
