1.Boy Who Turned Yellow, The (1972,UK,55mins) rare good:Sometimes - Childrens, Experimental, Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Mystery/Thriller • A boy named John fell asleep during an electricity lecture in school. Sent home, he and other subway passengers within a small radius of London mysteriously turn yellow. After doctors confirm it's harmless and maybe from outer space, an alien named Nick (short for electronic) comes out of John's TV set to take him surfing at lightspeed on electromagnetic waves. Nick is all yellow, and the yellow bombing was a way to find someone he could trust. When they materialize in the Tower of London, John is arrested, but when he's allowed to watch TV again he escapes. John awakens in the class lecture again, but he finds clear evidence that it wasn't just a dream either. • goofy but well-made to be educational and imaginative by a famous film duo during a career slump. The alien is silly with yellow headlight and yellow skis for travelling, but in a dream symbol way he's a great model for children to accept visits by higher beings in altered states. This TV special is an especially surreal entry in the Childrens Film Foundation (CFF), which from 1951 to 1981 produced Disney-like adventures featuring kids versus bad guys and some moral lessons. dir.
