The Strict Rules to Look Presentable

What is cool but shocking to me was how they made a film on how to be well groomed.

I cannot think of any other videos that would have a guide to be well taken care of and even how to stay clean like this.

I do not even think our generation today has a detailed video like this and teaching others to be well groomed.

The film starts out in a black and white filter and it was produced by Coronet Instructional Films.

It starts out with a woman in her nice high heels in the house and it looks like she does not have any tights on but seeing from this era, I think she does.

I noticed her hair is curled and her room is well presented and clean. She seems to be dusting her dress which could mean she's getting the lint off?

Dawn checks to make sure that her legs are shaved by leaning down and skimming her hand down her to her ankle.

Which indicates that she wants to make sure she has no hairs sticking out from her legs as it is not seen as looking presentable.

In this video, they put pressure on people at this time to look healthy, have good posture, cleanliness, and neatness.

Although I am not fond of how they show us viewers of how to be well-groomed since it seems we are talked down to like children but then again they want all ages to know the message regardless.

One thing I noticed is that people in the 1950's, seemed so proper and strict with everything.

Which can be a good thing and a bad thing as well.

In this case, I think it is good. Many in this era are set in their routines such as you have to to clean everyday and have to iron all your clothes every time they are dry.

What I love about these skits is that the husbands and wives are so respectful to each other and are modest as well.

They do not have any petty or rude tones when they ask each other to do any cleanly chores.

It is great how well they work together as well to keep things clean in there home and their selves clean too.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...
