"Middleton Family At the 1939 World's Fair"

2009 April 05 post from swirsky

If you have an hour to spare, watch this movie:

This drama illustrates the contribution of free enterprise, technology, and Westinghouse products to the American way of life. The Middleton Family at the New York World's Fair pits an anti-capitalist bohemian artist boyfriend against an all-American electrical engineer who believes in improving society by working through corporations. The Middletons experience Westinghouse's technological marvels at the Fair and win back their daughter from her leftist boyfriend.

Memorable moments: the dishwashing contest between Mrs. Modern and Mrs. Drudge; Electro, the smoking robot; and the Westinghouse time capsule.

...if we had only taken seriously the dangers of Communism, we may not be in the mess we are in the United States today.
