Using the Bank (1947)
  
This is a fascinating look at banking in the pre computer age. It covers all aspects of banking like we experience 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.
