In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Days of Wine and Roses (1962)
An AA propaganda film directed by Blake Edwards.
A married couple has alcohol based troubles.
The video was in black and white. I've traced whisper-blast back to 1962 now. There was no loud gunfire or anything like that. It was the volume range of the dialogue that caused this effect.
check out: The couple's daughter is only pictured sleeping, waking up, and getting back to bed.
I didn't like this because I didn't like AA. They over-simplified the concept of addiction and I was expecting to see more drunken debauchery. Don't watch it unless you're in AA and you like being there.
