Public Speaking,
Movement and Gesture (Highlights) - 1940s
This
film is pure nostalgia! Great for training in the office
as an ice-breaker (Oh, the things we had to do in the
days before PowerPoint! This early Coronet film takes us
through the basics of effective public speaking, with
its focus on body posture and gestures. There is some
very funny footage here; especially in the scene
demonstrating how not to make gestures when speaking
(what a forensic geek this dude is!). The final "live"
speech is great in that it is about nuclear energy! The
speaker's motions are so calculated (albeit exaggerated
for example), they are counter-productive to the film's
lesson and ultimately distract from what the speaker is
trying to say. Great film.

party hat in the presentation world.
