"Rush Hour is a 1941 British Public Information short film made by the wartime Ministry of Information and designed to pass on an important message to cinema goers in a humorous manner. Rush Hour was filmed as a series of short comedy
sequences, illustrating the various degrees of chaos and confusion
arising from public transport being overwhelmed with passengers at peak
times. Its twin targets were employers, to whom the desirability of
staggered working hours was stressed, and casual leisure travelers, who
were exhorted: "Shopping? Visiting? Then get home early at your ease –
leave rush-hour seats for workers, please!"
There ya go,
