Might be the most common reason but not the only reason ;)

Generally, people who drink alot tend to eat less, hence why they don't seem so fat (some of the time)

Yes real color film by the Yanks, which had come out of lofts and now seen for the first time.

Cigarette smoking was dominant in those days, my mother-in-law smoked heavily and she was as thin as a rake.

Most of the British WW11 films were in black and white, and were shown to us at High School just after the war ended, 1947, 1948 and 1949.

1338925 2013-04-30 01:34:00 Bottom line is : for 99% of us, you cant get fat without overeating.
& its not just fatty foods, too much bread is just as bad as too much sugar (long term) .
Perhaps a bread ban is needed, or WW2 rationing ?

Some old doco wont be any sort of indication. The uglies tend not to be filmed.
There would have been many many fatties back then (Churchill & Goring come to mind, a few overweight US Generals as well) > less fatties in the countries with extreme food rationing of course.

1338927 2013-04-30 01:44:00 Processing film during the war (esp on ships) would have been hard enough, without having to worry about the technicalities of colour. Esp since colour was very expensive and hard to get right at the time. The Error Guy (14052)
