Time Out For Trouble.

A worrying little public information film from 1961 equating household accidents with the apparently dubious mental health of the housewives of the era ...

Scary stuff!

I don't know what's scarier, the portrayal of the American housewife or the portrayal of the American husband. Nice work from the University of Oklahoma. Sigh.

That video is disturbing. Shiver. It's an interesting look though at what was put out there for public consumption back in the day.
