A young Peter Cushing plays a doctor warning road users to take care in this haunting Uxbridge-shot public information film.
Overview
A deadly car crash drama is enacted – without histrionics - on the suburban streets of post-war Uxbridge in this haunting public information film. It features a youthful Peter Cushing as a hospital doctor who delivers a sad message of warning to all careless road users - whether they be drivers, cyclists or pedestrians.
Also seen - but uncredited, like Cushing - in this oddly affecting short film are British film and television stalwarts Peter Madden and Alfie Bass. This government film is a public record, preserved and presented by the BFI National Archive on behalf of The National Archives, home to more than 1,000 years of British history.
