My Financial Career (1962)

I liked this! Anyone who ever gets nervous about doing thing even vaguely official might recognise the scenario as a gent arrives at this grand banking edifice to deposit his monthly wage. With some C$50 to invest, he enters reckoning it’s best to discuss such a momentous decision with the manager before deciding he wants to cash a cheque for immediate expenses before leaving a bemused and befuddled collection of bank staff not a great deal advanced of his task than he was eight minutes ago. There’s a witty narrative as delivered from the thoughts of this fellow and the animation reminded me of my childhood “Mr. Benn” cartoons. It’s all about intimidation either real or perceived, and it’s good fun.
