Release Date: 1960 Entered the Public Domain: 1988 　 Film 6: Wild at the Wheel (1970) COLOR Runtime 10 minutes Sid Davis produced this education film about a teen known as "Speedy" because of how fast he liked to drive his car. At the start of the film they're picking him up off the road after a deadly crash. We then flashback to see why he's dead and how it all could have been prevented had only he followed some simple rules. These driving-safety films can only be judged on their entertainment level and this one here is pretty high. The movie starts off with us seeing the bloody teen and then we flashback to all the typical information about how popular he was, how his younger brother looked up at him and how he only drove fast so people would think he was cool. All of this is done in that campy 70s fashion so one will get quite a few laughs along the way. This here is certainly not an Oscar-winner but there's enough camp to make it worth watching.
