This humorous short movie – originally titled as "Once Too Often" – is a 1950 US Army training film for soldiers on leave. The film features Oscar-winner Jack Lemmon in his first starring role. Lemmon played Mike, a happy-go-lucky, Private Snafu-like catastrophe of a soldier who has ten days leave and demonstrates ten different ways to be careless with one’s safety, from accepting rides from drunk drivers to falling asleep while smoking. Once Too Often is a series of lessons on what not to do to stay safe and how to avoid unnecessary risk.

The US Army first proposed the film in early 1949, in response to startling statistics that showed that, in the previous calendar year, one-third of lost time accidents and fully two-thirds of fatal accidents involving military personnel occurred while in off-duty activities. The film was intended to be shown to all military personnel and was later cleared for public release.
CONTEXT

In the United States Military, leave is permission to be away from one's unit for a specific period of time. Under normal circumstances, all personnel are granted 30 days of leave per year. This time is usually used for vacations and other extended time periods away from the service that are longer than three days or need to be taken in the middle of the week. Leave is accumulated at the rate of 2.5 days per month. A member's leave is annotated in the monthly Leave and Earnings Statement.
