Personal Hygiene's Producer was Frank Jerome Payne
This film was made in 1950 because at that time, some incoming soldiers were totally clueless about Personal Hygiene. Since all the recruits had to sit through it, my father, Frank Jerome Payne decided they could have some fun with it. He, along with the writer, made up the lyrics set to old corny songs - like What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor became What Do You Do with a Dirty Soldier and the poor guy gets thrown in the pond. Another classic, which was a hit at my birthday parties as a kid, was "Brush 'Em Up and Brush Em Down." It was made to be camp then but seeing how the guys and gals at the dance were dressed was pretty funny to see now. Producer Frank Jerome Payne's big toe appears in the "Cut your toes straight across" scene because when they went to shoot the scene, he was the only one on set with properly trimmed toes. It was made at the Army Pictorial Center in Astoria, Queens, NY in the Film Studio which is Kaufman Astoria Studios. I am now a member of IMB and will be happy to give more info to IMB to give my Dad credit as Producer (hundreds of Chaplain, Military Police and Medical films), WWII Combat Director (he Directed one of the final sequences in Attack: The Battle of New Britain and occasional big toe actor.
