This 1969 film is about drug education propaganda film from the 60’s. This time the focus is on Heroin.
LSD: Insight or Insanity (1967) was a short film that condemned the use of LSD and "acid". What's makes this short different than the others was the vocal narration from has been actor Sal Mineo. After appearing in some high prolific productions, Mr. Mineo has all but disappeared from the spotlight. But he not only provides a narration for this film, but he gives the viewers an added bonus. He performs the vocals of the song that plays during the end credits. What's even funnier is the fact that he comes off sounding like a curmudgeon. Talking down to the people in the movie and the youth in general. I would be bitter too if I went from REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE to narrating an anti-drug short. Sal would have one last shot in the big leagues when he played in ESCAPE FROM PLANET OF THE APES.
Sonny Bono appears onscreen to tell kids that marijuana is a "bummer" that turns you into a "weedhead" and will make you "trip out" (the fact that, based upon his performance, Sonny appears to have ingested unknown substances before the cameras started rolling tends to limit the film's crediblity somewhat). The film is actually a lot of fun! You will be disturbed, yet hysterical all the way through.
Another drug education propaganda film from the 60’s. This time the focus is on barbiturates. This 1969 film is about a dumb guy who also narrates this short film. One night whilst partying with his friends, he decides to try some "Barbs". After popping them like tic-tacs all night, he comes down pretty hard. Stagerring home like a drunken sailor on payday. he walks right into a wall and takes a nasty header. This is one night he'll never forget. hey, it's sounds like fun! Remember kids, don't take too many "dolls" unless you want to crash and burn. One of the more light hearted shorts you'll find on the subject. Another case of overindulgence.
A 1948 informational British short with Richard Massingham. Amusing health propaganda trailer on the dangers of sneezing. Coughs and Sneezes spread diseases. Followed by "Don't Spread Germs".
(1969) The American Social Health Association was always experimenting with new ways to educate the public about venereal disease. They helped produce the first VD education film, "Fit to Fight", in 1918 in order to educate soldiers being shipped abroad to fight in the first World War. Although this popular TV public service announcement informs the public that everybody is susceptible to venereal disease, strangely, it also seems to imply that having VD will make you successful, attractive and happy. Also, the song is quite infectious...
