Just a wee bit of over-acting here. Who dresses up like this anymore. Eating soup without noise? What the hell! Pretty skimpy looking turkey. Must have got that one on sale.Where is the damn cranberry sause? They are so damn concerned about the fucking table manners, that they are not enjoying the meal. What's wrong with talking with food in our foul-mouths? This whole thing is a bunch of crapola!
I was also born in the 50's. When I was a child, we used to go to my grandmother's for Thanksgiving dinner. Then she passed away back in '85, and then my mother had it.
Unfortunately, my mother had a stroke just three weeks before Christmas of 2002, and she's been in a nursing home ever since. My father, my brothers, and I would have Thanksgiving dinner at Old Country Buffet. But every Thanksgiving, my uncle goes to upstate Pennsylvania. My brother and I spend Thanksgiving alone.
These were available for elementary schools since the future '60s rebels needed additional help in learning how to eat at the table. :D Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hard to imagine that this was aimed at the general public and not "differently gifted" folks. The narration seems very slow and affected even for a 50s film.
Don't think i didn't notice the little rat bastard had on his Christmas sweater the start of this film. And how pleasurable and comfortable it must have been to eat Thanksgiving in a suit and tie like Dad.
At 1:29 and 1:41 it looks like the little one is going to eat the big one! (Watch out big brother!)
Anyway... I'd love to know how to make one of those puddings that you light on fire, the kind the mom serves at the end of the dinner. Not enough combustible food these days.
turrrkeyyy ahhhhh Happy times...U never see any movies about Italians and other cultuer's in the 1950's...This video is as exciting as a funeral home. :)
Mom lights the annual dessert, except this year, she drank all the rum, so there were no flames, but she pretended all right, and lit the match anyways, and placed it near the flambee, or however it is you spell it, then she brought it out, oh what a sight, everyone pretended with all of their might, and they were thankful, that the lights came back on, after mama came in!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ONE AND ALL!! :)
This is an amusing little piece... I feel like the music is sort of an odd choice.
Wow, these manners are quite hard to come by today. I grew up in a very traditional home and didn't even learn proper soup spoon dipping etiquette until college.
I was born in 1951--one year after this movie was produced. I never realized that spoons and forks were brand new inventions then, and that people needed instructions on how to use them. LOL! I like the part about how to use a spoon to eat soup with--WITHOUT NOISE! "SLLLLUUUURRRPP! BURRRP! HEY MA, GIMME SOME MORE FUCKIN' TURKEY!!" What a classic!

@nanlisa Why don't you go visit your mom in the nursing home at Thanksgiving instead of being alone?

I noticed the piano began playing the old hymn "We Gather Together" at the 8:57 point in the video.

"We are glad to eat neatly without ... [?]"
Without spots. That's what the narrator said.
I assume that this film was meant for children...or idiots.

Father carves the turkey with his hands. UGH. Doesn't the little girl have a knife?
Take small bites. SMALL BITES HEAR ME???
What is that she's bringing in at 9:22? Looks like a flower. She lit it with a match?
