Description by OLDIES.com:
Secrets of a Model's School's posters asked, "Can a beautiful model stay pure?" Low-budget studio Continental Pictures billed their film as "a lesson in life for every girl...a warning for every parent!" but really, it was mostly an excuse to show shapely young women in their underwear (which was tantamount to nudity back then.) Workhorse director Sam Newfield's career dated back to the silent era. The Terror of Tiny Town (1938), The Mad Monster (1942) and Lost Continent (1951) are just three of the over 250 features he made. Bobby Watson, who plays the leering artist Stuart Bannerman, made a career out of portraying Hitler in films made during WWII. These include Hitler - Dead or Alive (1942), Natzy Nuisance (1943) and The Hitler Gang (1944). (Watson has played Hitler more often than any other actor.)
BONUS: The Bright Young Newcomer (1958): This vintage office etiquette short depicts a vocation much less salacious than nude modeling, but equally fraught with danger. In The Bright Young Newcomer, the boss has trouble with jealous older women in his office when he hires Bettie Page lookalike Joan fresh from college. "Just because she's been to college, she tries to lord it over everyone!" says "a competent old employee." "Sometimes I feel sorry for people who have to run an office, especially if it employs a number of girls," says the narrator.
