The House I Live In (1945)

The 1945 10-minute short The House I Live In, released 9 November 1945, was made to oppose anti-Semitic and prejudiced views in the post-Second World War United States. Written by Albert Maltz, produced by Frank Ross and Mervyn LeRoy, and starring Frank Sinatra, the short captured an honorary Academy Award and special Golden Globe award both in 1946.
The House I Live In was selected in 2007 by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
The title song, sung by Sinatra, became a national hit. Sinatra would perform the song again most notably in the White House during Richard Nixon's presidency and for Ronald Reagan's inaugural ceremony in 1985.

Frank Sinatra won a special Oscar for this classic short, a plea for tolerance, in 1945. How ironic it is, in retrospect, that several of the people involved in this film (co-producer Frank Ross, songwriters Lewis Allen and Earl Robinson, screenwriter Albert Maltz) would wind up as victims of that monument to national paranoia, the Blacklist, a decade hence. Still, the sincerity of all involved, Mr. S. especially, cannot be denied.

I just have to marvel at how the young Frank Sinatra sang so beautifully in the early yrs. of his magnificent career and continued on for another 50 yrs. thereafter, a career among all popular singers that was unequaled. He was the best of all.

This Film deserves more than it got. This film is golden. It teaches an important lesson. This is America to me.

I was excited to see that this video was available, because I like the "If you are but a dream" song so much, but very disappointed to find no audio. Hope you can repair it sometime. Thanks!

Wonderful....

Frank ended his concert at the Nixon White House with this number. At least, that President understood who the White House belonged to and didn't try privatize the place to the exclusive use of family and close friends.

@bullwinkle1989 Oops...I'll fix and re-upload it ASAP - in other words, when I have time :) Thanks for the message, by the way.

Remember that "Telethon for America" right after 9-11? It was aired simultaneously on like 80+ channels. They should have aired this video during it. Might have saved a few lives. Anyone else remember that wave of hate crimes?

I love this first song--Sinatra at his most operatic--though it was also a "soul ballad" sung by Etta Jones with Gene Ammons.
