★★ · Not About a Loaded Gun · Yowp · 2020-09-27
Two children fight over a loaded gun, but this short has nothing to do with accidental gun deaths. In fact, the children seem more frightened by the sudden appearance of NBC news anchor Frank Blair. No, this film is actually a plug for General Tires with Blair, in his familiar flat, even tones, outlining their safety features. Cronkite wouldn't be caught dead selling tires. Jam Handy's usual professional job is evident here.
