Don't Drink and Drive: Office Party
Quirky photo-montage film warning of the perils of drink driving.
The Xmas office party was as boozy in 1964 as any today, but it was another three years before drink drive laws were introduced. This photo montage film was shot in the producers' offices, and prominently features their head of advertising. More alarming is the final message which, while avoiding the shock tactics of later campaigns, suggests that women are to blame when men drink and drive!
Public information film on the dangers of drink driving, targeted at office parties.
A montage of still images, some collaged onto backgrounds, show the passage of an office Christmas party with men and women drinking. A male voice-over and diagrams give details of the increased risk of car accidents after drinking different quantities of alcohol. A man and a woman leave the party, but the woman stops the man driving and they hail a taxi. End slogan: Don't ask a man to drink and drive.
