★★★★★ · Don't you want to see handicapped entrances, 1950? · Logical · 2011-05-11
This is a wonderfully made film, a real periscope glimpse of sixty one years ago. Note that the sidewalks have sloping entrance driveways for the cars, but not for people? It is a fine, genial, instructive film, nothing tedious about it. Some bikes, too! Nice kids and a good outfit that made this film. Note they removed the windshield from the camera car for proper filming. All the shots are well planned, the narration is pleasant. Kansas is nice place to grow up in, then and now.

Pretty standard bicycle safety film here, even for a Centron film. The only unusual thing is the way they tell you to make left turns. Probably the creepiest thing about it is the way the filmmakers filmed a girl on her bike going slowly on the street, like we were stalking her or something. Pervs!
