@6motion6 She wants an electric *ironer*, which is far more Jetson than a plain old electric iron. I think they looked like weirdly massive clothes-wringers, and the selling point was that you could sit down while you ironed. I *might* be making it up. I wasn't alive at the time, but I've enjoyed my share of vintage ads.
The MST3K version of this video makes it even more hilarious! Even without that commentary though, the video is still unbelieveably ridiculous. I can't imagine anyone back in the 50s taking this seriously!
Call me prejudice, but this film was so much easier to watch with my electric-powered computer! I love these less than subtle commercials thinly veiled as soap operas/social guidance.
Wore their trousers pretty high in those days hehe

She wants an electric iron? It looks as if that is what she has.
I love how she waxes rhapsodically over the bacon. I wonder if it was cooked on that electric stove?
So Bob's friend says "...Alex has little time for girls" and " quite a woman hater in his way." Sounds suspicious and mother doesn't seem to notice.

@kingofderelicts I can't get enough of vintage ads. They say so much about the time.
