So, 'Teenicide' is this fascinating piece from 1950 that's part of a series focused on traffic safety, done by Kemper. It’s got that gritty, earnest vibe typical of educational films from that era, really hits you with the stark realities of teenage driving deaths. The use of stark visuals and sometimes shockingly candid statistics creates a somber tone, doesn’t shy away from the grim truths. It’s interesting how the LAPD's involvement adds a layer of authenticity. The pacing is a bit slow, but I think that just adds to the overall weight of the message. The way it personifies the dangers of reckless driving feels a tad melodramatic at times, but that’s what makes it distinctive in its own right.
