Title
Live and Let Live
Year
1947
Abstract
Set in a toy tabletop town, this film uses brightly colored model cars and trucks to demonstrate a range of driving safety scenarios. The number of near-misses and accidents would make for an extremely violent film if real vehicles and people were used, but the models keep the feeling of mayhem at a distance. An unusual example of a rich tradition within the safety film genre: the tabletop model.

Review
Well, any movie that has me on the floor laughing 2 minutes into the movie, deserves reccomendation. This ulta-strange movie, about car safety using miniature cars, shows incredible accidents usually associated with 6 year olds playing with cars. You know, cars going off cliffs! Head ons with 16 wheelers! Smacking into trains! This is GREAT STUFF. Oh, and there's narration about how to avoid these kind of accidents, but the images are what rules here folks. This is a TOTAL must see on this site!!
