Recommended for high school classes in general science and social science." Ad- visory committee "An interesting film, but has little class- room value. Similar to a March of Time release.

Rental is for minimum of 2 weeks "Dramatic presentation of the youthful impatience of young lovers. Parents who have no objection to the marriage of the couple insist that they wait until they are self-supporting. Impatient with this advice, the boy and girl leave home for the city; spend their meager savings; sell their car; work in a night club; inad- vertently come by money not belonging to them; and in an attempt to escape ensuing difficulties with the police, shoot the attendant at a drive-your-own-car garage; and eventually the boy is killed. Commentary points to the fact that most of the tragedies of youth are the result of impatience and false pride. Well dramatized, directed and photographed. Highly recommended for sociology courses, grades 10 through college, and as a conduct pattern in human relations." Advisory committee "Negative instruction—bad."
