What a bodacious "blast from the past" ! Lots of familiar faces ! Especially cool to see Bergen & McCarthy in color ! Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful gem with us ! CHEERS !
The purpose of the film was to inform employees of the Bell System about preventing accidents at home. It was also made available to other industrial firms to be shown to their employees, but also was in general distribution including schools. The film also featured popular people at the time -- Don Wilson, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.
Best remembered in "Them!" ("Make me a sergeant and bring me the booze!") and as the farmer who finds the meteorite containing The Blob and is the first to be blobified.

Best remembered in "Them!" ("Make me a sergeant and bring me the booze!") and as the farmer who finds the meteorite containing The Blob and is the first to be blobified.
