Review

  • Shown in driver ed classes everywhere! As well as with "radar secret service" film on mystery science theater. Officer jackson visits the dixon family to remind the young sons to always be careful near railroad crossings. It's clearly good advice, but it's just so dry and monotonous. Lots of close calls, examples of drivers and cars which did not stop and wait for the train to safely continue on. Images of roulette wheels, since drag racing and train racing are good examples of taking a gamble. With your life! Obviously sponsored by union pacific railroad. I hope there's an updated version of this showing now. But probably not. Boyette actually had a long career in hollywood. And that's actually a married couple, playing ... the married couple. Along with their actual son bill. Director robert carlisle was king of the short films, although this appears to be his final direction. Interesting historical piece, but dry as toast.
