A collection of U.S. Government films covering a wide variety of topics from surviving an atom bomb (duck and cover!) to surviving sexual relations; from controlling a riot to controlling your temper. 8 volumes, roughly 60 minutes each.

From the back: "Since motion pictures began to flourish as a medium, one film studio has produced more movies and spent more money doing it than any other. That studio is the United States Government.

Federal Follies is a hilarious collection of these films (color and B&W,) because at the time each was made, the subject matter was approached with the utmost seriousness. Today, they make for an extraordinary viewing experience, both for their unintentional humor and historical content."

Vol. 6 contains the following episodes:

Hookworm (U.S. Information Agency) - "Disney animates hygiene for Latin America."
Curiosity Killed a Cat (U.S. Army) - "Don't drink the water, or anything else for that matter."
VD, One, Two & Pick Up (U.S. Navy & U.S. Army) - "Forty years of VD in the military."
Japanese Relocation (Office of War Information) - "The Japanese go to the races."
