@@dumbbo1 Very true! My Dad had a friend who lived in what is today, still a 3 million dollar home in Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY. Marty’s family had a gardener, a housemaid, and a cook. His father owned a number of office supply stores in NYC and New Jersey. My grandfather worked for one of the stores driving a delivery truck. Normally, the two would never have crossed paths, but Marty sometimes played stickball with some boys on the “other” side of the Grand Central Parkway. He and Dad were introduced by a mutual friend. In talking, they figured out the connection. My Grandpa made a good impression and he eventually got him connected to a business friend. For a time, my father drove one of the trucks. Sadly, Marty got drafted to Korea and was killed on his first day of combat.

Many may know that RCA premiered Television at the 1939/40 Fair. Fewer know that Westinghouse had a Television exhibit at their pavilion. The camera Bud stands in front of is an experimental Westinghouse unit. The microphone and receivers appear to be RCA units. Westinghouse later owned TV stations across the country and produced many local and national shows, one being "The Mike Douglas Show" which started at a Westinghouse outlet in Cleveland before moving to Philadelphia. On the west coast, Westinghouse syndicated " The Steve Allen Show" . Another show from Dallas was " The Beat", episodes of which are posted elsewhere on YT. Westinghouse shows all had the same set design which utilised large graphic elements and pastels which registered well on color TV sets of the 1960's. All of the Westinghouse productions were of high technical quality, equivalent to other network offerings of the time.

Hate to inform you of this but there was virtually no anti-Communist propaganda in the USA until the 1950's when the Cold War really went into high gear and it became "imperative" to tell every average Joe and his second cousin's, dentist's dog who the "enemy" was and McCarthyism reigned supreme. Prior to the Cold War the USA saw itself as wholly self-sustainable and utterly unconcerned with whatever happened in Europe or elsewhere (the Monroe Doctrine still applied) so there was absolutely no need to have any propaganda about anything. The USA was seen as a fantastic oasis surrounded by two huge oceans. Without a large foreign threat there was no need to be worried. Heck very few Americans cared about what happened in Germany in the 1930's and if anybody pointed a warning finger at Hitler most Americans just said:"Well, he's in Germany and we're here in America what could he possibly do to us? So far he has done nothing and if he does it's not our problem or concern." As for the view of the Soviet Union back then. It was seen as some agrarian, poor state which was so poorly industrialized it would struggle to survive on its own much less become a threat to the USA. It might as well have been located on the Moon. While educated politicians and scholars could see an emerging threat the average Joe was much more concerned the the still ongoing Great Depression, whether the next president could keep his big promises or whether his team did well in the World Series. The big shots and bankers feared powerful unions and their "partners" a lot more. Other than that your comment is spot on. Funny too.

and my grandma was born in October 12, 1936.

That art teacher is a jerk.

I freaked out when I realized I was watching this on September 23rd, same day as the time capsule. 😳

Pretty Amazing. I'm amazed how relevant this movie is to young people today. I showed it to my teens. They cracked up at the love triangle with the communist.

Smart grandma.

Wonderful

So literally as soon as we could shout our rants to strangers, we did.

Dad: "My, I never realized what a good looking daughter I have." Could you say that just a little creepier, Pops?

Modern eyes ruins everything. Back then people didn't think twice about a simple compliment. Today everybody is so paranoid 24/7 everything is over-analyzed and people have become incredibly thin-skinned. No wonder all kinds of personality disorders and autism have become commonplace. That dad in 1939 simply expressed his pride. Today he *must* be an incestuous creep. Like I said: Modern eyes ruins everything. Humor in particular where everybody seems offended over everything. And if your comment was meant as a joke. Like I said: Bad humor today too.

TiberiusClaudius Caesar I agree with you, and yet that was my first reaction as well. I had to remind myself that there really is nothing wrong with a complement like that. It did (and does) bother me, though, that my first reaction was as expressed above: Creepy.

First off, this was excellent. I just wanna shred light on the way this time period not only references the opposite perspectives of most viewers but straight up puts their arguments into a character to conversate in a respectful and tame manor with the opposing views being calmly explained to not only swoon the characters thinking but also the masses watching at home. today, people are so stubborn and solidified in even the most trivial arguments, most dedicate their time to their pocket of likeminded media constantly fueling their solidarity, this seems fine for the most part but without media like this there's no middle ground to meet, and I'm not talking heavy stuff like region or politics, more tame stuff like openly gay relatives for Christian families or something common to present both perspectives using just this as an example of how a lot of people looked down on certain aspects of the progression of an electric modern society ruling it all off as unworthy of any rebuttal, but with media like this it can help express both views in a neutral setting to show there are some parts they do disagree with but some points they haven't heard might peak their interest
