Sid Davis Productions presents “Vandalism,” a 1953 social guidance / educational film that focuses on the travails of three groups of juvenile delinquents and their brushes with the law in Inglewood, California. The “pranks” pulled by the teenagers featured in the film range from throwing a scarecrow in front of a moving vehicle, stealing merchandise from a shop, spiking the punch bowl at a party, and “borrowing” a stranger’s car. The narrator intones that although these teenagers may often view such actions as lighthearted and fun, they will all inevitably lead to jail time and a police record.
