What People Say

One of the more interesting entries from 1962. Aside from a few seconds of the Woman blinking, the film is all done with still-shot photography and voice over narration. While some of you might be reminded of film strips from your school days, the technique is easy to get used to, and serves as an oral history for the viewer, watching a glimpse of a future war.

I have to say, this blew me away. Heartfelt and genuine. That much is clear.
