O’Mara’s Chain Miracle
Produced: 1950s
Length: 11 Minutes
Victor McLaglen stars in this advertisement by the Chevrolet Motor company. Playing a short tempered cop who yells at everyone, he changes the course of a town one day, simply by being nice. Instead of yelling at a new Chevy car owner he is sympathetic to the man and lets him off the hook. The man, in turn, is nicer to his customers. And on it goes around the town, the generosity ending at a car dealer for Chevys. A rather strange and whimsical promotion to buy cars, this film explains how one act of kindness can set of a chain reaction.
