Review
In this Coronet film about controlling your emotions, it is narrated by one ugly doctor, er, psychologist, er whatever he is (it's not explained). Anyways, with the help of some rather large props he has lying around, we find out that the only 3 emotions we have are Rage, Love and um, another one I can't remember. A case study is presented where a boy is JUST not having the greatest day (he flings the sprinlker around in desperation in one mad scene). The doctor-whatever says that he should try to control his emotions and adopt an aw-shucks attitude. Nothing is explained as to HOW this can be achieved.. (Of course nowadays, maladies such as this can be solved by drugs.. lots and lots of drugs...)
