WHEN I'M OLD ENOUGH...GOODBYE!-1962-I saw this state sponsored short on TCM at 5 AM. It tells the story of a young man (Barry Primus in his film debut) who drops out of high school so he can get a job and "be free" like his old man. Things don't work out exactly as he plans when he is suddenly laid off.
This forgotten low budget quickie is actually quite prophetic in it's message to future generations but it figures because the producer Louis De Rochemont was also behind the well known "March of Time" newsreels of the '30's that warned of the rise of Hitler! Director Karl Genus did mostly TV.
Thanks for reading!
