OFF TOPIC - however I will ask:
Does anyone know of a source for odd films?
I would like to obtain a copy (DVD) of a film made for the AMERICAN PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION
in 1958 "THE RETURN". Made by MPO Productions, Murray Lerner.
It is a recruiting film for workers dealing with treating paraplegics. 38min. 16mm. b&w.
Any leads much appreciated. THANKS.
Happy New Year, Thomas.

This film was taken out-of-service somewhere between 1962 and 1964. I
got my 16mm print when our Audio-Video faculty advisor was unreeling it
into the garbage to save the 400-foot reel. He had a letter saying to
discard it. I asked if I could have it instead and he gave it to me
including the original box.

Because Canada was not considered a target of the Russkies! You were
too polite, I suppose.

Goodwill was a fallout shelter???!!!! What was it, Fort Knox?? If The
Bomb was heading our way, were we supposed to head for Goodwill??!!
And we were going to win the cold war with this?? No wonder Khrushchev
said that he would bury us!
