LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Robert W. Anderson One of the reviews of this short film try to tie it to the McCarthy Hearings going at the time this film was. That's an ignorant and probably intellectually dishonest take on this film. This film is simply meant to make school age children, and maybe a few adults, think about their own moral values. Very few things are as basis as right vs. wrong. The boy was involved with an act of vandalism. Did he do anything? You have to watch the film to know. This film is about a number of adults who demonstrate their values by the way they act. And in the end the boy is left with a decision to make. Is this a technological tour de force? No! But it is a very good film at creating conversation about an important topic. A society that doesn't know right from wrong would be a horrible place to live. And if you did live there. You probably wouldn't live for long. Because if you don't know right from wrong you also can't value life and property rights. It's common is 2018 to dislike the cops, to steal at will, to abuse others property, just generally abuse everyone else's rights while doing anything you care too. This film would be sure to start a long conversation in any group of two or more viewing it. One reviewer thinks it right and proper that this probably isn't being shown in schools anymore. I think children should see it quarterly during the school year, every year. All low votes up to this time are disheartening. Because those a votes for chaos in society.

bkoganbing The cast is unfortunately lost to history in this short subject which does have some interesting things to say about moral choices we make. Unfortunately the production values are as thin as dental floss and the conclusions heavy handed to say the least.A couple of interesting assumptions are made in this film. The police to handle the juvenile in question once he's identified call a member of the kid's church. No one in 1951 questioned the moral authority of a church in these matters. So the first offender after breaking a window at a warehouse is given over to a church representative. Better than juvenile attention I think, but still an interesting choice for the times. Secondly and even more important the last choice is left up to the kid as to whether to rat out his fellow offenders. In 1951 when we were trying to identify members of the Red conspiracy within our midst, informing was a very political issue. You KNOW what this film wants the kid to do.I doubt this film would be shown today to a school audience.

Steve Pulaski If nothing else, the Coronet Instructional Films short Right or Wrong? (Making Moral Decisions) brings a keenly subversive style to instructional videos, offering an incomplete short so that the bulk of the weight is left on the audience in terms of judging the main characters' decisions and overseeing the ultimate fate of its lead character. The short's story revolves around a young boy named Harry, who is caught by a shopowner for throwing rocks at his storefront with a group of friends. Being that the shopowner only knows Harry, he informs local law enforcement that he was the one doing the vandalizing, leaving the remainder of the boys still at large.Right or Wrong? focuses on the police's efforts to bring Harry to justice. During the course of the ten minute film, we often stop and hear the eternal thoughts of the characters before they make a certain decision. For example, we hear the shopowner's mind race as he contemplates whether or not to notify the police about Harry, who's father is a good friend of his, or hopefully cease this kind of behavior from the youth by getting the police involved. When the police finally show up on Harry's doorstep, his mother goes through a mental debacle of whether or not to let the police inside the home, contemplating saying Harry isn't home.These kinds of situations make us active moviegoers, which is a plus for a company as basic and thoroughly unremarkable in its moralist ways like Coronet Films so often is. Right or Wrong? actually forces us to construct some of the pieces of the puzzle ourselves rather than have it handed to us. On top of that, this is actually a grittier short than many of their other ones, willing to showcase such relatable circumstances for young kids, such as sticking by your friends and remaining loyal to them despite quietly repressing your more moral, realistic side. Right of Wrong? (Making Moral Decisions) may have the kind of squareness that most Coronet films have, but it refreshingly subverts its style for something more memorable than most of its predecessors.Directed by: Judson T. Landis.

Michael_Elliott Right or Wrong? (1951) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Decent educational short was produced down in Georgia. The story involves a teenager who is out with other kids when they decide to throw some rocks through the windows at a warehouse. The night watchman notices the one boy who doesn't throw anything so he calls the cop and the kid is picked up but he's not certain if he should just take the blame or tell who the other kids were. RIGHT OR WRONG? isn't a lost masterpiece or anything but I think fans of these educational shorts should enjoy it. The film actually has some pretty good direction early on because these early scenes seem as if you're watching some sort of Gothic horror movie with the atmosphere and use of shadows. The performances are also a little bit better than you typical see in these types of movies. At just 10-minutes the film certainly doesn't overstay its welcome and its pacing is also another plus. Throughout the film the narrator asks the viewer what they would do with the various circumstances in the film.
