Title: Don't Try This At Home
Product review: I understand that the book version of this is a classic story, and much more worthwhile. This video is watchable because of the breathtaking scenery; otherwise, the messages sent to the viewer are downright bizarre. Made in 1969, and reflective of the era.Here are some of the film's messages: A) If you're a 13-year-old aspiring biologist and your parents just don't understand you, then you should run away from home to live in the wilderness (No!). (B) It is okay to deliberately set fire to an ancient tree (No!) (C) If a burly guy discovers your secluded campsite, you should invite him to stay and share your sleeping quarters (NO, NO, a thousand times, NO! Good grief, what were they thinking?!) Plan on reading the novel and skipping this video.
