Coronet Film "The Law and Social Control"
Coronet Films (also known as Coronet Instructional Media Inc.) was a leading producer and distributor of many American documentary shorts shown in public schools, mostly in the 16mm format, from the 1940s through the 1980s (when the videocassette recorder replaced the motion picture projector as the key audio-visual aid).
Ken Smith sez: The gang at the "Teen Canteen" can't decide if they should close their establishment at 10:30 or 11. Adult advisors guide them to the correct decision (10:30). Coronet obviously felt it plausible that resolving an issue such as this would require the efforts of both teens and adults -- though it's doubtful anyone else would. Some narration and crude animation. Whining "Jane" ("Some people may question our behavior!") also appears in Going Steady and A Brighter Day. This one grows on you.
Title Card: "Law and Social Controls"; misc. credits.
Policeman directing traffic (on street corner in small town); signaling automobile to pull over. CU policeman admonishing driver (he has directed to pull over).
Large, columned courthouse; building surrounded by spiked, wrought iron fence.
Illustration: "Social Controls" and drawn figure of striding man, joined in sequence by man tipping top hat labeled "Custom"...man pointing finger labeled "Moral Code"...policeman with raised hand labeled "Law"
Teenagers sitting at tables in the "Teen Canteen" (soda jerk in BG); teen couple entering and greeting another teen couple sitting at table; young man rising from seat (at table); returning dirty ice cream dishes to soda jerk.
