The Autobiography of a 'Jeep' (Short 1943)

The Autobiography of a 'Jeep' (Short 1943). 9m | Unrated

“This is one of 50 films included in the DVD set u0026quot;Treasures from American Film Archives (2000)u0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s a documentary about the Jeep–and, oddly, itu0026#39;s told as if the Jeep itself is narrating the film! That is a pretty weird idea but it actually worked great. As you see the many crazy and difficult jobs this general purpose vehicle did, you canu0026#39;t help but admire the ingenuity of the car maker and designers. I was also surprised to see the likes of Laurel u0026amp; Hardy and Claudette Colbert driving about in them for Bond Drives as well as Roosevelt and King George VI riding in them around the globe. I donu0026#39;t know exactly who the intended audience was for this one, but it was truly inspiring and exciting to watch even today–almost 70 years later.”
