Classic 30's,
40's, and 50's Drivers Education films
An original production published by
The Classic Archives! |
| We've all seen them when
we were teenagers. Driver's Ed films. Scare
tactics. You better drive safe and slow, or else!
Whether you learned to drive in the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's,
or earlier, odds are that you've watched these films or a
different version of these films. Regardless of the
decade, the message remained the same. Obey the speed
limit, don't drink, and drive defensively.
This collection takes you back to
being a teenager. Remind how exciting it was to first
get your driver's license? Relive that special time in
your life, and get a good laugh, with this historic, vintage
footage. This DVD comes with a fully interactive menu
and runs about 2 and a half hours long. A list of
films included is as follows: |

Driving Tips, Series 1
Great old movie on
driving tips. Covers littering and other hazards.
Great footage of old classic cars running down the roads.
Sound, Color, 9:29

Driving Tips, Series 2
More driving tips
from Sid Davis, this time covering such things as littering,
traffic signs, going around curves, left turns, and
hitchhikers. The section on road signs has a lot of great
50s signs in it. Again, this has lots of big, ugly 50s cars
on narrow streets.

Last Date (1949)
Tells the story of
Jeanne, a popular pretty girl until speed and an accident
ruin her life. A good scare film.
Sound, B&W, 18:08

Live and Let Live (1947)
Set in a toy
tabletop town, this film uses brightly colored model cars
and trucks to demonstrate a range of driving safety
scenarios. The number of near-misses and accidents would
make for an extremely violent film if real vehicles and
people were used, but the models keep the feeling of mayhem
at a distance. An unusual example of a rich tradition within
the safety film genre: the tabletop model.

Stop Driving Us Crazy (1959)
