Social Class in America (1957) |
|
Shows the differences in the life experience of three male babies from three different social classes. One young man succeeds his father as president of the family manufacturing company. Another, a middle-class white-collar worker at the same company, leaves the town of his birth and moves to New York City where he becomes a respected advertising art director, thus rising in social status. A third, born into the working class, trains as a mechanic and holds an influential job at a service station. The sociological tone of the film does not mask a sobering narrative of the limitations that social class divisions inflict on all Americans. Download Update

Parker Brothers Funny Bones Ad |

demonstration ad for a physical card game in the tradition of Twister. Clothing looks about like 73-74. The game is very silly, but the production style is fairly traditional, which seems a little unusual with the common use of jiggly camera techniques and crazy shot angles today. Download Update
