★★★ · Jeepers... I'm glad Jim pulled through! · samontreal · 2005-06-22
I liked how this movie showed traditional pre 60's male role models and modeled acceptable male behaviour, but that at the same time, the narrator encourages the audience to feel sympathy for Jim's predicament and invokes caring and other emotions to encourage men not to not drink and drive, but rather, drink somewhat less. If there was a downpoint to this film, it was the crash scene. You couldn't really see much, although the glass cracking animation was cool. But they don't even give you a glimpse of the wreckage afterwards, which would basically be a given these days. Oh well, still worth…

Battered print. The first few minutes has several splices PER SECOND. It settles down to a mere scratchfest with normally frequent splices after that. Lots of shots of sloppy behavior, near-wrecks during hunting trips, drunken trips home after a night at the bar, etc. A very weird-looking leg stump in the hospital scenes after the wreck. A "heartwarming" scene at the end as the entire family participates in the first outing on the new leg. Altogether unpleasant, maybe some useful shots.
