Using the Bank (1947)
  
This is a fascinating look at banking in the pre computer
age. It covers all aspects of banking like we experinece today
- making deposits, withdrawals, opening an account, using
a checkbook, getting the daily cash to run a store, etc. and
how all the record keeping was kept. It also includes a tour
of the part of the bank that we never see - the bank vaults
ad private areas.
