Agfadrome kicked off with two outtakes from the DRUG STORIES collection. These are two shorts that weren’t included on the disc apparently.
The first was SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DRINK AND DRIVE, a educational film about drunk driving, made in cooperation with the City of Pasadena (if memory serves me correctly).
The second was another educational short about alcoholism narrated by Robert Mitchum (probably community service work). Ah the irony!
Also incorporates another drinking and driving short that involves a nuclear family going to a relative’s house, the dad drinking too much and being an insistent dick about driving home, and then crashing the car and killing his wife and daughter because he’s a dick. And drunk.
