Keep It to Yourself (film #32 on National Archives). [Category: Public Service]

Campy British PSA from the 60s featuring the Litter Defense Volunteers (LDVs), a bunch of incredibly white Up-With-People rejects in incredibly white outfits who go around picking up after litterbugs in tan overcoats, while James Bond-type music plays on the soundtrack. I bet they were effective in stopping litter––I know if I encountered a bunch of them it would scare the bejeebers out of me and I would never littler again.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: *****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****.
