The Perfect Crime

1955 0h 21m Released

This National Safety Council driver's education film presents accidents caused by excess speed -- as the perfect crime. As the narrator explains, "high speeds can lead to dangerous accidents and death. Unlike other crimes, there will be no investigation as to the cause of the crime". The film shows how driving in rain, at night or with an improperly maintained vehicle can all be deadly. Other troublesome factors include the condition of the road and the driver as substances like alcohol impair driving ability. The film ends with a plea to help support maintaining good roadways. The film was funded by the Caterpillar Tractor Co. as a public service.
