- This U.S. Navy film “Smart Boy” encouraged World War II sailors to be just that - especially when it comes to enjoying shore leave. The film opens with a group of sailors in their off hours as they get ready to go ashore for liberty (or time off) in their enlisted dress blue uniforms. At mark 03:47, one of the sailors decides to swipe campaign ribbons from a sick crewmate’s jumper. The sailor’s misbehavior continues in town, disrespecting civilians and a junior officer. “The navy goes in for courtesy. Like saluting. It’s an order to an admiral the same as you,” his friend cautions him at mark 05:20. The sailor’s disrespect carries over to women, too. When set up on a blind date, he remarks of his shipmate’s girl at mark 06:45: “She’s not bad but I bet her girlfriend’s a dog - they always are.” Opting instead to spend time with “some broken down floozies,” the sailor adds additional campaign ribbons to his uniform and hits an array of watering holes, pounding down shots and beers in a drinking montage until he enters another drinking establishment at mark 09:00 and begins flashing his seven months of pay - a site that catches the eye of the bartender.
With a wink and a nod, he sends a well-dressed B-girl toward her mark and encourages him to buy her some drinks. “I thought you were a friend of mine. From the back you look just like him. He’s very well built, too,” she purrs. “I can say the same for you,” he replies as his eyes wander. The drinks and the flirting continues as the sailor relates a wild story of an invasion at mark 10:50 - one he only read about in a magazine. As his stories grow and his speech slurs by mark 11:05, he delights a growing crowd with more tall tales and high-priced drink purchases.
The morality tale starts at mark 11:45, when the blonde B-girl goes in for the kill … and lifts a wad of cash from the drunken sailor’s belt, passing off the cash to her bartender partner before he cuts him off and kicks him out. Stumbling out into the daylight at mark 13:30, he suggests they go up to her place. “What do you mean? If you think I’m some kind of round-heel tramp you’ve got another thing coming,” she snaps before storming off.
He returns to the diner where he left his friend at the start of the film, and realizes he’s been relieved of his dough. A not-too-sympathetic police officer steps in and at mark 15:15 delivers a message to all sailors: “That’s the trouble. These boys won’t do as they’ve been warned. They bring too much money ashore and flash it around and get drunk. First think you know they’ve been dipped, maybe by some cutie, or rolled. There isn’t much you can do for them. They can’t give enough information to make a case.”
As the film flashes to the drunken sailor’s buddy, enjoying domestic tranquility with his girlfriend and her attractive friend in the comfort of a perfect 1940s home, shore patrol enters the scene at mark 16:48, carrying the film’s unconscious star into jail to end the film.

"Instinct. Drunks, cats and homing pidgins." 😃
I was a US Army Military Police Officer for 5 years back in the day. The headgear on indoors caught my attention right away. First in the break room, then in the cafe. Glad the SP straightened him out on that. It was driving me nuts! 🤪
BEAUTIFUL ladies in this film!
You got that right!
"remove your fucking cover"
My parents were both Marines in the 40's...left college together to join.
Mom died at 88 and I pity the fool who called her a Broad A$$ Marine...
the only time I saw her mad when her brother would tease her and call her that...ha
I love these old films. Subscribed... thank you.
Broken down floozies. Best band name ever.
I was in the Navy from 1964-1968 (HM3) and saw a few training films of this vintage.
I joined 25 years later. The only film we had was to scare us from getting VD.
All these sailors are 35 and from Brooklyn
i think everyone was from brooklyn during WW2. LOL!
This is more entertaining than any of the crap on Netflix. Is that Martin Sheen?
Only if he is in diapers.
@@KB4QAA an bob hope
Sheen was still pretty young in the 60s.
This kind of thing happened with soldiers too. Young boys, 1st time away from home, trying to prove they're men. Good point brought out in this film was they did things when they joined the service they wouldn't dream of doing at home. Right of passage I guess. Too bad so many had to learn the hard way.
Rite
Alice is smokin’
Poor Bill missed out 🙈
@@timh36 I think Marilyn was for Bill(and yes, he REALLY missed out. Hubba hubba).
My grandfather would say
Yar haven't had a decent night out on the grog until yar "ship" yar pants and it takes 3 Sunday newspapers to clean yarself up with !
LOL!
Your grandfather was quite the man wasn't he
I was in the Navy 30 years ago. Know Shipmates that did things like that.
Looks like a machinist mate from the insignia (I was a machinist mate myself in the Navy), why's he hanging around with other departments? We never hung around with guys from anyone but engineering (or in my case reactor department), actually we mostly stayed within our division, so even other divisions in our department we didn't hang out with. When I was in, most everyone just hung around people in their same division, or sometimes just the same workcenter. But yeah, why am I watching this LOL. I haven't been in the Navy in 20 years. I managed to get out without a STD or terrible tattoo.
woww no anchor, MOM or a ship?? good job.
as another MM we hung out with our own and the hookers and the bars
Its Burt the cab driver from Its a Wonderful Life!
I remember my dad telling me that men out of uniform (WW2 Era), not in the armed forces (at that time) were looked upon with distain and ridicule ....unless they had an obvious disability
Every sailor I ever knew who went on shore leave put their wallets in their front pants pocket and also never went out in the rain without a rain coat…
A Peacoat! :)
Well when I used to wear dungarees our front pockets were essentially back pockets. :-) But yeah I still keep my wallet in my front pocket.
Hell, we went to Phuket in1994 and couldn't leave the Quarterdeck without showing ID and picking up a 3 pack of Jimmy Hats. Lol
Swell!
Looks like he's seen some ''action''...And they wonder why the sailor gets drunk after a 3 month before getting a furlow...
I've been looking for "VD Ship" with Don Haggerty.
The sailor who took the magazine away from the other sure looks like Ken Curtis aka Festus Hagen from Gunchoke!
02:19 Who was that guy? Was that the Chief uniform then?
05:45 Never saw a CPO pulling the SP duty.
Guy's just carrying 7 months pay or at least 15k on him in today's money to a bar. That's a not a smart boy
John Hughes film? Teens played by actors over 30.
How would you know that? Based on their appearance? Of course they look older, this is 70 years old.
HeeHaw! It’s Sam Wainright
Girlfriend is gorgeous
Typical GM3
why does one guy have his crow on the right shoulder?
It’s actually a ship’s clerk petty officer third class. And sometimes the uniform rank was worn on either the left shoulder or the right. Just a reminder this film was made during the Second World War.
Double old fashioned...
Swell.
I was living alone at 14 so I was more street smart when I went into the Corps - Man, the things young Marines were doing when off base was crazy to me - I remember one moron bragging about how he went down on a working girl.... Ha, ha, ha....
Swell
Nothing like "getting dipped by a cutie"...
"Smart Boy" or "How To Roll a Drunken Sailor".
Don't be a "smart boy" be an "intelligent" one 😉🌷❤
Plot twist: Alice is a Russian super-spy
German with this vintage of training film.
Girl in Spain I was dancing with tryed to pick my pocket, never made it to the bullfight , woke up back on the ship, me and another guy tyred to make every bar on the way to the arena.
tried
In the beginning of the flick one of the Sailors puts his smoke out on the deck….Really?
Oh wow what kind is she,.....Does she churn milk? Yes
Alcohol makes a smart person stupid
And some enter slavery 2-it too
I wonder how many guys this type ofstuff happened to
Well the drunk rowdy sailor ashore is a timeless trope so it had to have happened continuously
Yeah it would happen, but usually in foreign ports, not the States.
Is Alice 22 or 42?
It honestly is hard to tell when it comes to the people from that day and age and earlier.
OT: Navy Humor! You know why our "Cracker Jacks" had the 13 Button flap? It was a dinner plate for Jarheads! LOLOLOL ;)
Ha!!!
As a wife, mother and grandmother of 3 Marines, I take deep umbrage to this “joke”. I just see it as jealousy, the navy knows the reputation of the USMC
@@lisapelarske1634 well that's the thing about a joke lady.. it's not meant to invoke feelings of deep umbrage.. because it's a joke. Get over yourself.
Your insulting the lady, talking about your Marines bib that way. Send to to
Captains mast.
Hayes Grey and underway.

The way he was necking those Boilermakers as soon as he got ashore, I would have been surprised if he could hit the ground with his hat, much less navigate from bar to bar. 🙄😒
14:08 Is that Vivian Vance (RIP) behind the counter?
It’s not.
Not her.
Ladies back then had class
Very true, just like today, Tramps, floozies and whores? Now that's another story.
Ole Bill woke up from his drunk and said, “USN Never Again!”

How much was "six bits"? Is it $1.50? Was it common to use that abbreviation back in the day? Just curious...
2 bits is a quarter. 6 bits is 75 cents.
It goes back to the Spanish silver dubloon of Colonial times (there was a fair amount of Spanish hard currency circulating in Colonial and Revolutionary America, in place of the increasingly-worthless Continental scrip). AKA a "piece of eight" -- the large coins were literally divided into eight equal-sized pieces; if you tore two off to make the smallest common purchase, it was "two bits".
I read a novel by Iceberg Slim; it takes place in the 'underworld' during the 30's and 40's and it included a glossary for the times' slang. C-notes, sawbucks, fins, and slats.

Yep, the proverbial "spending money like a drunken sailor". Just like the federal government today, only LESS SO.
All young boys need to be shown films like this. ×/× destroy more young men than anything else
It’s good to see shit bags aren’t just a new thing.
Always interesting videos.
Tired of this countdown clock.
Please remove it.
Thank you.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

I think the clock is counting up…. Smart Boy
My father always sailors couldn't carry a wallet in Italy after WW2 because of gangs of kids with razors that would mob ya and cut yer pockets off.
I think Alice has gonorrhea.
But Doc, she looked so clean!
Never known an American who could hold their drink !
Are you a brit?
@@katerineella274 Is it relevant
@@gowdsake7103 nobody can outdrink the Brits
@@katerineella274 Oh I would say Most East Europeans and Russians.
@@gowdsake7103 OK OK and the Finns.
and who is the Good Girl in this story ?
Betcha that she's a married woman whose husband is either a POW or deployed for the duration
The Smart Boy is just one of dozens of smart boys that she keeps company with
Their hair is too long.
Horse paste works great as lube--- combine love making with de-worming for extra protection and extra romance-- WONDERFUL
The asinine, necessary, distracting, and FAKE timer at the bottom of the screen (which is as ridiculous as you previously putting your logo in the middle of the screen) earns you a THUMBS DOWN and a click of "Don't recommend channel"
