This classic industrial film explores Standards Red and White crown brands that were being marketed during the post World War 2 era. The film makes great use of cinematography, cartoon animation, and a terrific musical score to discuss and sell the brand. The "Inside Story of Modern Gasoline" was one of two versions of the film that was made simultaneously; this version being produced for internal exhibition amongst Standard Oil employees. The second version "Gasoline's Amazing Molecules" (currently missing) was prepared for public exhibition, and interestingly has the same running time as "Inside Story Of Modern Gasoline". Boschen's intro to the film gives background information on t the Standard Oil Company of Indiaan and also the Jerry Fairbanks studio. Written by
