See the pomp and pageantry of our industrialized nation on the eve of WWII...in living color.

Our PBS station showed this on the 50th anniversary of the fair.  Crazy idea from Westinghouse about the three tub washer with the extractor in the middle.  I have a tie with thin stripes in colors on a dark background that remind me of the light towers.

I watched this a few weeks ago, and found it interesting. It's fortunate it was filmed on Kodachrome, as it holds color much better than later home movie films did. So many home movies from the 60's & 70's have faded to a weird pink shade, as have some professionally made ones.
