Last three watched, 1 feature and 2 shorts: Reaching for the Stars (1958, Australia) - 7/10. An interesting documentary about Australia's contribution into astronomy. This 10-minute short film accompanied different films depending on the place it was being shown. For example, In Sydney, it accompanied the currently-unavailable David Niven film "The Silken Affair", along with additional short subjects ("Cradle of Great Men", "Valley of the Yarra", "Dopey Dick, the Pink Whale", and a Movietone film on the Queen Mother). Meanwhile, in Canberra, it accompanied the currently-rare Jerry Lewis film "The Sad Sack" and a sci-fi b-movie called "The Space Children", along with a newsreel.
The film was produced by Australian Commonwealth Film Unit, who released various documentaries during the 1950s, many of which aren't listed on IMDb. The bulk of Australia's film output of the 1950s consisted of these short documentaries. The copyright holder has uploaded it to YouTube:
Dumbo (1941, USA) - 8/10. Such a nice film. At 64 minutes it moves along quite quickly, yet still has time for the fascinating "Pink Elephants" sequence.
Unit Beat Policing (1968, UK) - 7.5/10. Instructional 22-minute film for police officers. Released on DVD as part of the set "Police and Thieves" by BFI Video.

Note: Films linked to are uploaded by the copyright holder.
The All-Rounder (1958, Australia) - 7.5/10. Cute little theatrically-released 2-minute PSA about safe driving. Interestingly enough, it was produced by Movietone, far better known for their newsreels.
Building a Brick House (1946, Australia) - 7/10. This 10-minute documentary, intended as an instructional film for ex-soldiers taking up the building trade, does exactly what the title suggests. A bit too dry for my taste.
The Bronze Buckaroo (1939, USA) - 7.5/10. I'm probably the only person in the entire world who likes this film. It's a b-western with an all-African-American cast. Like most b-westerns, there is a comic relief sidekick, the seedy bar, the woman in danger of losing her ranch, and it ends with a shoot-out in which a lot of shots get fired but hardly anyone gets shot (oddly enough, the only major fatal shot is fired by the comic relief sidekick, who kisses his gun after doing the kill). I love b-westerns like this, so I enjoyed the film a lot.
