Bad, mostly, as an example of film-making. This Coronet educational short subject was intended for schools and poses an interesting question in a dull manner, like, unfortunately, every Coronet short subject I have seen.
Right or Wrong? (1951) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Decent educational short was produced down in Georgia.
The cast is unfortunately lost to history in this short subject which does have some interesting things to say about moral choices we make. Unfortunately the production values are as thin as dental floss and the conclusions heavy handed to say the least.
One of the reviews of this short film try to tie it to the McCarthy Hearings going at the time this film was.
If nothing else, the Coronet Instructional Films short Right or Wrong? (Making Moral Decisions) brings a keenly subversive style to instructional videos, offering an incomplete short so that the bulk of the weight is left on the audience in terms of judging the main characters' decisions and overseeing the ultimate fate of its lead character.
