Description: Please read & note: This is a Rights holding DVD created & produced by me and is not factory made or sealed. I strive to produce the best DVD's possible from the sometimes VERY old Public Domain material. Films that are public domain are un preserved and not professionally re-mastered. I re-master all of my films myself to the best possible quality achievable. My DVDs are not the quality of todays Modern DVDs or Bluray discs. If you are looking for this kind of quality then these discs are not for you. All pictures are actual screen captures from the DVDs. Please note this when purchasing, but also know that all of the films are very watchable. To keep my prices as low as possible all my DVDs are delivered in plain paper DVD sleeves and the DVDs title will be labeled on the back of the DVD envelope. (See picture) All of my DVD's come with a menu for easy film selection. 　 Total runtime of this DVD is 36 minutes. 　 Item specifics are: Film 1: "In the Suburbs" (1957) COLOR Runtime 19 minutes A fantastic short which is, in most part, a promo for Redbook Magazine. But in it's layers is a fascinating study about 1950's suburbia and consumerism, with the focus on the shopping malls. The film starts off by some overwhelmingly hypnotic shots of people playing about in their lovely suburban home in color, and then we have shots of the dirty city life they left behind (In black and white). These young adults move here to get out of city life, have kids, and of course, to shop shop shop. This is a very Stepford wives creep fest going on, where women don't make a move unless contacting their Redbook and the men.. well, the men don't seem to DO anything, except, well, throw parties. Great magazine articles are shown as well, such as "How can I please my husband" and "How Chicken Dinners can poison you" (or something like that). 　 Film 2: "Shopping Can Be Fun: A New Concept in Merchandising" (1957) COLOR Runtime 17 minutes How the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, California increased traffic with a sophisticated program of advertising and promotion. Excellent footage of stores and shoppers in an upscale suburb. Some footage from this film was used in In the Suburbs . Kodachrome. 　 I claim ownership and rights to this media. The films on this DVD have been researched and are copyright free or the copyrights have expired due to non renewal.
