    This is so freaky! I remember watching this film in school back in the '60s. The only reason I remember it is because I fell asleep when it was being shown, and the teacher made me stay after school and not only watch it again, I had to do an essay on the darn thing! I've got it memorized, even all these years later!

      @@annainspain5176 , you are so mistaken. This was life for many American's and there was nothing in this film which was not easy to do. I suppose if YOU are intimidated by the film; the etiquette, the manners, the courtesies and respect which society considered a standard, then I understand why you might criticize the contents. Too sad ..., perhaps when this was lost in America it opened the door to the standards we have today (none).

      I don’t. Most of these manners a waste of effort and time.

Jesus, no wonder people went to Haight Ashbury and partook In acid tests and wear what you want and listen to good music. This video exemplifies a stifling and socially confining time in our culture. People in the 30 and 40s did not even act like this.

      @dylanakent You can thank the feminist movement for ending that ability. They told women that being a wage slave was the best thing for them. Women entered the workforce in mass in the 1980s. That resulted in major inflation, real-estate went up 300% in value, and food prices nearly doubled. Thus creating a situation where it forced women to work instead of being an option for them.

    In the beginning of the movie, the girl's socks are higher which is accurate as opposed to the fifties short six which was definitely out of style. The style late fifties was high thick socks and long g skirts with no leg showing.the thicker the sock. The better
