Description: Please read & note: This is a Rights holding DVD created & produced by me and is not factory made or sealed. I strive to produce the best DVD's possible from the sometimes VERY old Public Domain material. Films that are public domain are unpreserved and not professionally re-mastered. I re-master all of my films myself to the best possible quality achievable. My DVDs are not the quality of todays Modern DVDs or Bluray discs. If you are looking for this kind of quality then these discs are not for you. All pictures are actual screen captures from the DVDs. Please note this when purchasing, but also know that all of the films are very watchable. To keep my prices as low as possible all my DVDs are delivered in plain paper DVD sleeves and the DVDs title will be labeled on the back of the DVD envelope. This way you can write the contents of the DVD on the DVD yourself if you want to. (See picture). All of my DVD's come with a menu for easy film selection. 　 This DVD contains 12 vintage driver education. Total runtime of this DVD is 164 minutes. 　 Film 1: "Anatomy of an Accident" COLOR Runtime 25 minutes Another weeper of a drivers ed film. A guy who was killed in an auto accident comes back as a ghost and watches his wife sell his favorite chair to a old couple for 35 bucks. Then he tells us all about the accident. Apparently, after taking an extensive defensive driving course given by his employer, the Bell System, and preaching to his family endlessly about safe driving, he gets himself killed when he breaks one of his own rules, which frankly doesn’t speak too well for the driving course. Of course, he does live in a town where the driver’s are all universally terrible and you can count on seeing an accident every few miles. And you got to wonder when the guy does an elaborate check on all his car’s lights before driving, but doesn’t have his family fasten their seat belts. The film ends with much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the guy’s wife when their little boy dies in the hospital. It’s a good thing she’s clueless about the fact that the old couple who bought her husband’s chair were the very ones who caused the accident in the first place. The end is tear-jerking. No gore in this one, but the opening credits end by smashing into the windshield, just as if you are in your very own accident. 　 Film 2: "And Then There Were Four" B&W Runtime 25 minutes The plot of this film basically revolves around a group of 4 unrelated people and how 'one of them won't make it home alive', yes, it's another car safety film. One guy has a hotrod, the other one has poor brakes, etc etc. But actually, this film does hold a lot of suspense until the end to find out who gets 'snuffed'. 　 Film 3: "Measure of a Man" (1962) COLOR Runtime 22 minutes This one is not really a driver ed film but it does have a drinking and driving theme to it. Very strange telling of a school jock deciding on what is right and wrong. The jock lives with his mother. He goes out with 2 other lads from his school and, after a couple of root beers at the local Big Boy, pick up a couple of hot chicks and head over to the next town for beer. His subconscious though keeps telling him that wild girls and beer are not good for morals. When they get the beer, the girl the jock winds up with has the line of the film by saying totally unconvincingly (I guess that was the point) "Mmmm Beer" The film sort of ends with the 'What Would You Do?' title card. But wait! This film, for a change, comes back and tells us what the jock DOES! (which is a first..) Luckily, the girl has as much as a chatty conscience as the jock does and wind up hitting the road together. Pretty strange for a film made in 1962 for kids to be dressed as greasers and bobbysoxers. 　 Film 4: "None for the Road: Teenage Drinking and Driving" (1957) B&W Runtime 14 minutes Hybrid nonfiction/fiction film showing experiments with alcohol-addled rats, plus a story of teenagers who die while DUI. Dan the non-drinker, Keith the moderate drinker, and Jerry the heavy drinker all drive home from a party accompanied by their girlfriends, except for Jerry, whose girlfriend picks a fight with him to avoid having to ride home with him in his condition. She accepts a ride with Keith and his girlfriend. Later, Dan and his girlfriend, who have been worrying all night about Jerry driving home alone, come across a car accident. They immediately fear Jerry was responsible, but no, the cops tell Dan that they arrested Jerry earlier in the evening for weaving down the road. Phew!, Dan's girlfriend thinks, but then discovers that Dan is holding a good luck charm he gave Jerry's girlfriend earlier in the evening, which he found at the accident scene. It was Keith's car that got into the accident. This melodramatic film features another scene of intoxicated rats having trouble performing rat tricks that's supposed to prove something. Like most Centron films, the teen actors in it are both amateurish and very believable. Features a memorable scene of teenagers doing drunk-driving exercises on Aetna Drive-O-Trainers. 　 Film 5: "Tomorrow's Drivers" (1954) B&W Runtime 10 minutes This film portrays a unique driver's education program in the Phoenix, Arizona schools, where, it seems, driver's ed is considered to be the most important subject of all. Driver's ed starts in kindergarten, where the usual kiddie games are altered to teach traffic safety rules. In first grade, the kids play with toy cars, following a dizzying array of rules, and later in elementary school they are each assigned their own personal pedal car, which they drive on miniature streets with miniature traffic signs and real traffic. Violators of rules are given tickets by kid traffic cops, and repeat offenders get their licenses suspended. All this is supposed to create more responsible teen drivers when the kids finally reach 16. I guess it doesn't work too well, because they also show us in detail an "attitude class" juvenile traffic offenders must attend. This is a curious film one wonders how long this program actually lasted. I don't need to tell you the film is narrated by Jimmy Stewart, you can't miss that voice. 　 Film 6: "Your Permit to Drive" (1951) B&W Runtime 10 minutes Talking driver's license narrates this hymn to the beneficial effects of highways, cars, and driving. Film about how important a drivers license is, as it gives you permission, not a right, to drive. This film offered a lot on what a privilege it is for the population to be holding one of these, and that this privilege is often misused. 　 Film 7: "Chance To Lose" (1930's) B&W Runtime 10 minutes This campy driving safety film from the 30s is breezily narrated like a newsreel featurette and features drivers who end up in humorous pratfalls as a result of their unsafe driving habits instead of tragedy, though the narrator gives plenty of stern warnings about such. The highlight is a young couple who end up crashing into a pigpen because of the young man’s tendency to associate manhood with speeding. 　 Film 8: "Crossroads Crash" (1973) COLOR Runtime 10 minutes The rules for handling intersections are presented in a very 70s manner, from the Bonnie and Clyde opening to the big, earth-toned cars. The points are occasionally punctuated by crash-test footage featuring big black 50s Cadillac's with huge tailfins. A lightweight in the driver's ed genre. 　 Film 9: "Stop Driving Us Crazy!" (1959) COLOR Runtime 9 minutes Rusty, a spy from Mars, pays a visit to Earth and discovers how its inhabitants disrespect one another by driving poorly. The film espouses a Christian viewpoint on safety, stating that "reckless driving is a sin." The 1950s-style animation is great. 　 Film 10: "Alcohol Trigger Films for Junior High: The Party, The Mother, The Ride" (1970) COLOR Runtime 9 minutes Three short dramatic, open-ended situations designed to provoke discussion in alcohol education programs. Includes "The Party," in which a new boy wants to make friends and offers his house for a party while his parents are away; "The Mother," in which an intoxicated mother picks up her daughter and a friend at a shopping mall and then embarrasses the daughter in front of a boy; and "The Ride," in which younger students are offered drinks by older friends and then invited to go for a ride. Film 11: "Knights on the Highway" (1938) B&W Runtime 9 minutes How drivers (especially truckers) can drive safely at night. 　 Film 12: "A Snort History" COLOR Runtime 6 minutes A partially-animated, humorous short that illustrates how drinking alcohol can impair one's judgement when driving. 　 I claim ownership and rights to this media.
