Featured review
Not bad, though a bit dated.
The only thing more boring than watching a slide presentation is watching a movie of a slide presentation. This education short provides this amazingly dull (and mercifully brief) experience, but also has some redeeming qualities. The introductory segment is laughably stilted. In the 1950s standard-issue family of Father, Mother, Daughter, and Son, only the boy seems to be able to act. But once you get past the family and classroom slide show segments, the animated instructional film within this short movie is actually rather informative, although I suspect some of the details are a bit dated. It's also remarkably sanguine and reassuring about the torture that is adolescence, but perhaps that's a good thing for its audience. The print I saw (from "Educational Archives, Volume 1: Sex & Drugs" DVD) has some annoying film skips that leave holes in some of the information. The short finishes with a sizable set of excellent questions from the kids that the teacher then tosses out to the viewing audience for discussion. The Archives print suffers from considerable vertical squiggles, but you stop noticing them after a few moments' viewing. All in all, not a bad production, but I'd skip the introductory section, unless you want to have a few laughs and get acclimated to the squiggles.
