Should you see it? Yes.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Dating: Do's and Don'ts (1949)
How bad is it? It's laughably old-fashioned.
Should you see it? Yes.
A short film usually paired with the similar "Are You Popular?" this instructional film is one of the few that seems to try social engineering. It's made up of scenes of situations teenagers may face when dating and how to best deal with them. In one case, a boy's seen trying until he gets it right, showing one possibility after another. The very conservative approach - conservative even for 1949 - gives the film an awkward charm. You may have seen snippets of this on late night television talk shows.
Should you see it? Yes.
