It Takes All Kinds (1950)
Plays here · source: Internet Archive
Framed as marriage-preparation advice, the film argues that choosing a spouse well means studying their personality carefully beforehand and then accepting them as they genuinely are, illustrating the point through dramatized scenes of courtship and married life.
Produced by Affiliated Film Producers as a marriage-education short for engaged and newly married couples, It Takes All Kinds belongs to the postwar boom in premarital-counseling films that treated compatibility as something to be taught in a classroom, an optimistic counterpart to the era’s more punitive teen-safety shorts.
