1950s DRIVER'S EDUCATION FILM with MILBURN STONE The Case Of Officer Hallibrand MD74742

[@andyvan5692]

an old classic of the age, but can't beat the shockers, that tell the truth, NO editing or censoring!! as the shock is what jolts us into thinking differently, and helps us see what NOT to do.

[@Tom63038]

Saw one of these films in high school in 1968. Bloody impression on me and I learned to drive careful. Only pictures I've ever seen worse were actual airplane crash photos. The forces on the human body are horrific.

[@juanitaimhoff9844]

I saw the same films in 1972 when I took Driver Ed

[@rainbowranddy]

A really well-made film. And Milburn Stone don't take no wooden nickles.

[@luvssnow9258]

They should bring these back in classrooms

[@Edward-bd8iy]

This one's still relevant. Businessman does the 1950's version of texting and driving. Speed Racer is still alive, but indirectly caused the accident which killed Pete. Ms. Coffee signals right, turns left from right turn lane. That happened in front of me the other night. Road-rage Wally is everywhere now... maybe armed, too. And I had a neighbor, Dr. Roller, who never went faster than about 30 mph, even on a four-lane highway in a 55 zone. All the examples shown in this old film are around today.

[@allen480]

Agreed but they will need multiple language sound tracks.

I like this movie because it places responsibility on every driver. Uncomplicated plot, and good points made. Still a useful movie. The narrator/cop is the same actor (Millburn Stone) who played 'Doc' on the 50s TV series 'Gunsmoke'.

[@misterwhipple2870]

Played it right up until the end in '72. Where seldom was heard a discouraging word, except when Miss Kitty says no.

[@brokenmedic9133]

Kimberly Ann Dennis and Alexander Gregory Dennis. Those are my 2 pins. 40 years apart but one was my sister and the other was my son. I gave my life working fire/rescue because of my sisters death. That made my son resent me because those 24 hour shifts and overtime shifts kept me away too much. I was always a killjoy because I had seen it all and tried to protect him too much. He was killed on his way home from his second job on the damn motorcycle my ex cosigned for him. I can’t win for losing. Be safe everyone and hug your family. ❤

[@hebneh]

The ditsy Elvira Coffee's 1955 Dodge has a 1955 Illinois license plate on the front. The newest car is Morton Trotter's 1956 Mercury. So this film was likely made towards the end of 1955, when the new '56 models were first on sale. In the opening and closing segments, star Milburn Stone says he appeared in this film "10 or 12 years ago", meaning these two parts were filmed from 1965 to 1967.

[@lesdabney2144]

16:00 That's a '55 Mercury

[@hebneh]

@@lesdabney2144 You're correct. I just noticed that the shots of Morton Trotter's speeding Mercury on the rural road are a 1955 model but the scene at the Marathon gas station at 13:01 show a '56, with the distinctive zigzag / lightning bolt chrome trim on the side.

Distracted driving, road rage, speeding, falling asleep at the wheel? (where's the drunks here??) Nothing new in the World. And-automobiles were a LONG way from being "safe" back then!

[@richardrice8076]

And no paramedics, triage and just load and go and try to get to the hospital in time.

[@drpoundsign]

@@richardrice8076 But, In France, OTOH, they treated Princess Di for Too Long at the scene. May not have made a Difference Either way. Even backseat passengers should buckle their seatbelt! The Undertakers ran the Ambulances back then (or did they just have their Hearses do double-duty?) Anti-Ironic.

[@richardrice8076]

@drpoundsign understand about Princess Di but for different reason. They were trying to stabilize her, I believe, and they were treating her. In answer to your other question, a 1970 Oldsmobile hearse-ambulance combo was at Mecum Indy this past weekend. The ambulance part was the pop up seats for the stretcher attendants. They folded down when it was used to transport the dearly departed to the grave yard. It was this type of craziness that led to the development of van then modular ambulances. This, along with paramedic-emt program, greatly reduced the number of fatalities on America's roads.
