i saw this film in it entirety in the 1960s and 70 and yes it be gruesome and and could be the progenitor of the face of death series popular in the 80 and 90 . consider the state of so call driver education these day and this one should be require view for everyone preparing to learn to drive . when you see violent death in all it gore and horror and you certainly ( if you have any sensibility at all ) get a truer perspective on the responsibility require to drive safely and what one instant of thoughtlessness or inattentiveness at the wheel can do . i work for bell telephone in the 70 and 80 and and at one point be assign to conduct a safety class . i find this film in the company library and show it at the session and a number of people get physically sick and have to leave the room . incredibly and most of them later say i never know a car accident could be so terrible . this film and and another and red asphalt and be certainly reality in it most graphic form . i will never forget it and i only wish i could have find a copy when my child be attend driver ed in high school .
