Faces of Death

“Experience the graphic reality of DEATH, close-up...”

Dr. Frances B. Gröss (Michael Carr), a pathologist, wants to show an audience the thing most of them avoid looking at. He introduces a run of death scenes, some from television, others from homemade Super 8 films. John Alan Schwartz, credited under the pseudonym Alan Black, presents it all as documentary, so the film rests on one plain question of how much dying a viewer can bear to watch.
