★★★★ · Doc Adams, Traffic Cop · Yowp · 2020-09-27
Future Emmy-winner Milburn Stone plays a cop concerned about people who die in traffic accidents, represented for some reason as pins on a city map. We're then introduced to a cast of unsafe drivers (the first one has a '55 De Soto) and wait to see which of them pile up their cars and die. Remember: ONE OF THOSE PINS COULD BE YOU! Occasional dramatic stock music and overly obvious back projection are pluses, along with some Dragnet-style acting. Part of the end credits are cut off. Boo. Stone died of a heart attack in 1980. A car crash would be have been an interesting irony.
★★★★ · PINS ARE FRIGHTENING · Spuzz · 2017-03-04
Great road safety film featuring, yes, 4 or 5 dangerous drivers all out in the road. Who will get into minor accidents? Major ones? And who will get by? Fun guessing, pretty good acting mixed in with atrocious back process shots. Reccomended!
