Safe-- not sorry
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Though the era of the 16mm educational cinema has come to a close, those quirky films unspooled in the mid-century American classroom continues to fascinate viewers today. No group of titles is more popular than the safety films which capitalized on the drama and spectacle of death, lurking around every corner, every pair of scissors, every overloaded electrical cord, and every park bench where a stranger pets a puppy. Featured are fourteen safety shorts, plus an introduction, and commentary.
