RIP, Sid Davis. You were right.Alcohol is dynamite.
Lung cancer — one of the few subjects Sid Davis never addressed in his nearly 200 youth “warning films” — felled him at the age of 90. His films were never shown during my adolescent years, but his imprint on the genre is everywhere evident. Next time you think twice before running with scissors, performing dangerous bicycle stunts, smoking a marijuana cigarette, or recruiting adults to purchase alcohol for you, thank Sid Davis.
