Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
The fourth volume in the COI Collection, Stop! Look! Listen!, focuses on health, safety and welfare messages. Cautionary tales, motherly advice, celebrity appearances and shock tactics have all been utilised by the COI to prevent us from being: killed on the road; burnt to death; abducted by strangers; crushed by tractors; drowned at sea, and so on. This release concentrates on the longer-form films in this area, punctuated by a small selection of some well-known short public information films and commercials.
Highlights include: Mind How You Go (1973), Green Cross Code advice courtesy of Valerie Singleton; Drive Carefully, Darling (1975), starring Frank Bough and a stellar cast of 'numskulls'; Apaches (1977), massacre on the farm from the director of The Long Good Friday; Betcher! (1971), a young Keith Chegwin takes on a cycling challenge; Never Go With Strangers (1971), sinister stranger danger advice for children; 20 Times More Likely (1979), Gillian Taylforth's puppy love ends in tragedy.
