Pardon Me For Living (clip)

Set in the 1930s, this memorable tale extols
the virtues of friendship and honesty. When
an unpopular, brainy girl receives her only
Valentine's Day card from the class clown,
she is flattered. Emily's loneliness makes her
easy prey for Virgil's scheming. He convinces
her to submit a petition against geography
homework to their stern teacher (played by
Margaret Hamilton.) Emily is punished for
her foolish deed, but she refuses to snitch on
Virgil. The historical setting offers "an interesting contrast in social behavior" with the present, says School Library Journal. Based on "The Scarlet Letter" by Jean Stafford. Produced by LCA. 31 minutes, color.
