"The Wonderful World of Tupperware"

This is from an old (and fascinating) half-hour documentary called "The Wonderful World of Tupperware," produced, directed, and co-written by George J. Yarbrough. It seems to be from the early sixties. This clip shows a bit of the annual jubilee, where Tupperwarians get together for revelry and rewards. The dreadful Anita Bryant sings dreadfully here.

@spacepatrolman no she's in hell for her anti gay movement

@bboucharde well sodomy is considering everyone does since sodomy also refers to oral sex

The "tupperware salesmen of the year" are given Ford Mustangs at the end. That means it's at least 1964 and not 1959.

@mynextcaronline She will go to heaven where bob hope is because she did USO SHOWS with him

@spacepatrolman The person who denigrated Anita is almost certainly someone who believes that sodomy is normal and healthy behavior.

she did have a good voice.  Too bad she will be in hell for eternity.

Judging by the cars,suits, neckties, hairdos and hemlines, I would peg this film made about 1963, perhaps 1964.

I was a big fan of Anita's in the sixties. She had the same kind of magnetism that Sarah Palin has (but Anita was prettier and talented). Thanks for posting this video. Jaw-droppingly bizarre to watch, but you're right, it's fascinating. ((I did like her singing here - hokey, sexy, surreal). This almost seems like something from a John Waters movie.
