Muscular Dystrophy PSA: No Strings
Another heart-wrenching PSA for muscular dystrophy from the early 1970's. Asks you to give to the "Jerry Lewis" volunteer.
I tried to pull some of the red out of this one so it would be a little more watchable - all the Televideo commercials (film) have fading problems. I'd like to attribute it to storage conditions over the last forty years but I don't know for certain.
