Its great to see the Kodachrome print of this. It was actually released in a black and white print since a lot of theaters wasn't set up for color. I love the colors of Kodachrome.
Not to be “that guy”, but… This never would have been released in theaters. This film was expressly made for classrooms. A projector doesn’t care whether the film is Color or black and white, so it’s not about a theater being “ready” to show a color movie. Black and white prints were cheaper, and so that’s what most schools would have wanted to buy, so that’s what most copies are.
It's daunting to imagine that the actors who played the children in this film are in the 70s and 80s now. It's also terrifying how even with no sound one can sense the heavy expectations of behavior that are propagated here. And all the people raised in this generation of grave denial are dysfunctional beyond belief. We are all still trying to heal from the absurdity of the legacy left behind.
What about today's political correctness? Have you seen all the articles lecturing people never to use such offensive phrases as "Don't be so sensitive" and "America is a melting pot"? The 2020s are going to be every bit as repressive as post-WW2 America, and probably a lot dumber, too. All in the name of promoting inclusivity, intersectionality, and unconscious bias, and weeding out cultural appropriation, microaggressions, white privilege, and toxic masculinity.
Just imagine how much more attention that short "A Date With Your Family" would have gotten had it been released in color. Mostly for riffing purposes, that is.
6:15- "Don't discuss unpleasant topics, such as gruesome sights, or sounds.....or unpleasant occurrences. This is a time of pleasure, of charm, and relaxation, remember?" {The "knife at the chest" gesture was not seen in the final version of the film}
What an incredible find to have the screen shots. Anyone know any of the cast? Brother is adorable, he was played by Ralph Hodges who died at age 85 in 2014.
The film was originally offered to schools in both black and white AND color prints. Most schools chose to buy the black and white prints, because they were less expensive.
This footage was filmed silently. All you hear on the soundtrack is the narrator's voice {"Uh-oh! It looks like Junior is trying to invade Brother's 'territory' by helping himself to some mashed potatoes......Father stops him by reminding Junior that all he has to do is ASK for it! After all, when you're on a date with your family, civility and politeness are just as important as the food being served......."}.
Father feigns eating, draws out junior, then disowns him!

It WAS released in color. However, very few schools bought color prints because of the added cost.
5:28 "I have no son"
6:15- "Don't discuss unpleasant topics, such as gruesome sights, or sounds.....or unpleasant occurrences. This is a time of pleasure, of charm, and relaxation, remember?" {The "knife at the chest" gesture was not seen in the final version of the film}
Yeah, double the bet.
I think somebody liked "daughter." There's more footage of her.
Or she just made more mistakes, so more outtakes.

6:08- "Don't monopolize the conversation, and go on and on without stopping! Nothing destroys the charm of a meal more quickly...."
...than having a personality.
Can I have a piece of cake, please?
emotions are for ethnic people
why is it in color but the final edit isnt? :(

Yes, since we all know that respect, good manners and family unity have been the cause of all our woes.
mine has absolutely no sound this sucks. the black and white final film is cool however.

I can see why. She's very attractive.
