I saw this in driver's ed, a bit over 50 years ago, and it was hilariously campy even back then!
The story concerns Jeanne, a young lady trying to decide between two boys, one of whom, Nick, is portrayed by Dick York (the first "Darrin," in "Bewitched"). Jeanne eventually goes for a ride with crazy driver Nick and ends up in a horrific accident (the details of which, of course, are not seen).
The highlights include the disc jockey who makes interminable speeches about "teen-o-cide"--"...the fine art of killing yourself, and maybe somebody else, before you reach the age of 20. You do it with an automobile!" Dig the swinging (sarcasm) music that he plays on the radio! Larry (the safe driver) looks like a total dork, and Nick acts like the guy you would want to keep your daughter away from--especially if you lived in 1950!
The entire 18-minute film is a letter from Jeanne to her friend Margo, lamenting, "Who would want to go out with me now?"
And the final message? "Drive safely! Or you may lose your good looks--and that's worse than dying!"
