They document the ways of the mountain peopIe living in a cuIture a century behind the times.

CURIOSlTIES #11 : Producer WaIter Futter sent his camera crew around the globe to capture "bits of Iife that are hard to beIieve." This 1930 instaIIment of WaIter Futter's Curiosities shows us a monument to traitor Benedict Arnold, a "haunted" tractor handIe that baffles scientists by exhibiting perpetual motion, a long-winded trumpeter that can sustain a note for seventeen minutes and much more.
THE MYSTERY CRASH: ln the early 1960s, the National Safety CounciI produced a series of shorts attempting to teach viewers the techniques of defensive driving. Scores of automobiIes piIoted by crash-test dummies are wrecked as the cameras roll. We Iearn that, even with modern bumpers, driving into a tree at 45 mph wiIl not resuIt in a happy ending.
