Abstract:
"Visit the Time Capsule, Playground of Science, the Junior Science Hall, the Hall of Power, the Hall of Electrical Living and the Battle of the Centuries. This drama, sponsored by Westinghouse, features a typical middle class family from the midwest and examines the ideas of consumption and capitalism. The film shows the contributions of free enterprise and technology and the benefits that they give to modern living. The drama comes in as the film contrasts the ideas and goodness of capitalism against the anti-progressive message of communism. Intertwined within the story is an excellent tour of the marvels on display in the Westinghouse building in the 1939 New York World's Fair." -- Container
