EDUCATIONAL FILM GUIDE 1945 EDITION 665.5 OIL FOR ALADDIN'S LAMP — Continued "The genie of the test tube converts oil into food, jewelry, gorgeous gowns, chickens, or high explosives for national defense." J.K.W. "A good film to cover one specific phase of chemical research; should be of value at the Junior high level and above, In chemistry and general science classes, and also for general showings to stimulate interest In chemistry and research. "The film contains some advertising and the sponsor's name is repeated occasionally, but the advertising content of the film is not considered objectionable. Photography and sound are good."

The function of vegetable matter and diastrophic movements are stressed. "Subsequent scenes show how oil wells are drilled and how, the well once under control, the oil is pumped to the surface and stored in temporary reservoirs. Before proceeding to the refinery, the oil is dehydrated. "Final scenes show in animation how the petroleum may be separated into the various fractions by means of a 'batch' still, and suggest the possibility of obtaining additional gasoline through cracking processes. "The film does a rather good Job of giving the auditor a feeling for the excitement attendant upon the opening of a new oil field, although a more complete treatment would have helped. However, in certain other respects the film is unsatisfactory. The method by which oil is produced in the earth is incompletely developed. . . The film is unsatisfactory, also, in its treatment of the refining process. "The reviewing committee agreed, nevertheless, that the film would probably have a rather high degree of interest for high school students in connection with courses in chemistry or general science. . . The various scenes were clear, the sound quality was excellent, animated drawings were employed judiciously, technical terms were either explained or their use avoided."
