Review

"By placing the corny, often grim, always low-budget films in their historical context, Smith almost makes us beleive they deserve our respect more than our laughter."

"You'd almost expect a book like this to be just another work making fun of bad movies, but it's not. [Smith] freely admits that many of these films are unintentionally hilarious, but he also traces patterns--the rise and fall of the drug film, say, and the highway safety movie--or the role advertisers played in making those menstruation films after no other educational film company would broach the subject. He profiles specific genres and companies and personalities--and fills the second half of the book with capsule descriptions of hundreds of mental hygiene films (where he gives his sense of the absurd full rein)."

Publisher's note

After scouring obscure educational films for nine years, the author offers a fascinating stroll down memory lane via the hundreds of films designed to keep public school children on the straight and narrow track between 1945 and 1970. 200 photos.
