Live.... and let Live (1947)

★★★★★ · Amazing!!!!!! · Spuzz · 2003-11-17

Well, any movie that has me on the floor laughing 2 minutes into the movie, deserves reccomendation. This ulta-strange movie, about car safety using miniature cars, shows incredible accidents usually associated with 6 year olds playing with cars. You know, cars going off cliffs! Head ons with 16 wheelers! Smacking into trains! This is GREAT STUFF. Oh, and there's narration about how to avoid these kind of accidents, but the images are what rules here folks. This is a TOTAL must see on this site!!

This film appears to be crying out for editing..There is a lot of film of real-life crashes in the archives..Perhaps each toy cars crash could be followed by real film crash and there are certainly some horrible images that could take effect

★★★★ · Danger in Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood! · eniksleestack · 2004-03-01

This film is great! I especially love the technicolor cars, trucks, houses, etc. In many ways this appeals to my purient wishes to see toy vehicles careening out of control in the H/O scale town that was the intro and outro to "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." There's also something damn scary about this town, where bloodless accidents seem to happen every few seconds, and no one's behind the wheels of any of the cars! Just one wish would be close-ups of the odd tiny motorcycles that are occasionally seen.

People have been getting the same old advice about obeying the rules of the road for 100-or-so-years. So there is nothing new in this late '40s film. Stupid drivers are doing the same stuff today. The gimmick in this film is the cars, train and a motorcycle all move by stop motion. To save time and money, a lot of it is reused. Parts of the matter-of-fact narration is accompanied by music.
