LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sid Davis, who produced more than 180 educational films warning youngsters of the dangers of drugs, drinking and running with scissors, has died. He was 90.
Davis died of lung cancer Oct. 16 at home for seniors in Palm Desert, said his daughter, Jill Davis.
From the 1950s into the early 1970s, Davis created cautionary short films that were screened in classrooms. With titles such as "The Bottle and the Throttle" and "Seduction of the Innocent," they warned kids away from underage drinking, drug abuse, vandalism and dropping out of school.
