  • wow indeed! i cannot count how many times i rolled my eyes whilst watching this wee bit o propoganda. my favorite scene was mom lining up her 5(!) sons and having them remove their pants right in front of her as she thriftly forced them into hand-me-down mode with their trousers! woman american is a phrase i have never heard, and as i recall, valium was very popular back then, which may be why everyone in this film seems to be in some sort of trance. 5 stars

  • my favorite propaganda film...great quailty print

see all

    Btw, what kind of dog did that girl get.

    It's soooo cute!

  • between 08:54 and 09:05---the containers on the grocery shelves, which the housewife is browsing among, are labeled as: chocolate covered ants, diamondback rattlesnakes, octopus, grasshoppers, and canned eels. This must be a joke of some sort.

    Could the film have been made for those learning about advertising, and how the housewife is the one who makes the major decisionsabout how the family's money will be spent?

  • She left the house with the oven on....silly mid century housewife ;)

  • Somebody at Chevy had to spend the extra money in their budget before year end, so they put this phiffle together.

  • Its obvious to me. Based on the rationing mindset of earlier war years, this is an attempt to brainwash the ball-and-chain wife and kids into "doing without" at home, so Dad can pay a little more at the Chevrolet dealership.

  • Filme nostálgico! Interessante ver como as pessoas pensavam, viviam em família...Jovens sem maldades, mulheres modernas para aquela época - 1962. É sempre bom relembrar o passado, principalmente quando os acontecimentos foram inesquecíveis!

  • What was weird was the canned meat on the shelves Canned EEL? 25 Cents? What monster mother fed the family EEL? I see the American Woman as the glue holding the family & kids together, but if her Husband was making the money in those decades, why on Earth would she frown on a vaction, especially for two? Doesn't she understand HE was giving her a gift of FREEDOM from the boring chores? That was strange too.

  • I have no idea exactly what the point of this film was. I noticed it was made by the Chevrolet people in 1962, and indeed all the cars were chevys, but it didn't appear to be an advertisement. Nor did it really have any educational value. Anyhow, there isn't a whole lot of quality color footage from the early 60s, and that alone makes it noteworthy.
