Citas
Narrator: As doctors are human, so there may be in their hearts the wish that some things just couldn't be. But as doctors are men of science, dedicated to the welfare of all their fellow beings, that wish must give way to a review of the facts. And the facts leave no room for wishful thinking. In the long years of his practice, Dr. Sam has too often seen the final tragedy of latent, untreated syphilis.

Carnival of Diseases

Dance, Little Children (1961)

** (out of 4)

Another educational picture from director Herk Harvey who is best remembered today for the cult classic CARNIVAL OF SOULS. The story here is pretty simple as poor, average looking Lynn is excited that the rich, good looking Hal has asked her out to a dance. Feeling she has to give in to whatever he wants, Lynn decides to sleep with him on the first date. Her low self-esteem takes another hit when it turns out that Hal was with a hooker a few weeks earlier, picked up a venereal disease and has now passed it on. At 25-minutes this film is way too long but I'll give the director a little credit for at least making it look professional. Yes, the film is still cheaply produced but it's certainly much better than your average educational picture out there. The biggest problem is that the film is simply way too long with the message just getting beat to death as we get one speech after another. The film goes into a lot of details for young viewers who watched this back in the day and it makes sure to let you know that anyone can catch these diseases no matter how rich or poor they are. The performances are about what you'd expect from this type of film. Overall, this is certainly well-made but more times than not people are going to want badly-made but entertaining films and this here doesn't reach that level.
