DESCRIPTION FROM THE PUBLISHER: VOLUME 2 - HYGIENE, DATING AND DELINQUENCYPart of the vast trove of well-meaning but hilariously stilted public education and classroom films of the 1950s, these little movies are so entertaining today!While the concept of "the teenager" had been around for many years, it wasn't until after World War II that an actual "teen culture" emerged and began to worry the adults. The films on this DVD compilation examine some of the issues that plagued teens- problems with personal hygiene, the temptations of alcohol, juvenile delinquency, dating and how to deal with parents who just don't understand. These films are hilarious in their approach and naivete by today's standards, but they were actually progressive for their time.
Name Unknown A juvenile court judge serves as a grim storyteller to a young teen who ran off with a bank robber. He warns of the dangers of making out in remote places, babysitting for strangers, and being picked up by someone driving a convertible in a town where every stranger is a sex crazed killer!
Going Steady Adults were concerned about exclusive dating, which might lead to heavy petting, premarital sex, or worse- settling down with the wrong person!
Getting Along With Parents The gang is all excited about the upcoming dance until their parents nix the idea!
Body Care and Grooming Aimed at the college crowd, this plea for good hygiene appearls to the older teenager's growing urge to find a mate!
Unto Thyself Be True Dad is so hard on his son Bill that the teen lashes out by stealing the family car and getting into a hit and run accident. Luckily, the interfaith counselor at the police station makes things all better! Directed by well-known Western movie director S. Roy Luby, this film features many recognizable Hollywood character actors.
Any Boy USA A not-too-subtle rip-off of Huckleberry Finn, this film about the dangers of alcohol probably just confused any teen that saw it!
