Fifties Dive

What We Know From The Video From this film we see a young couple going to the last 1950's drive-in movie theater and I do have to say they are respectful when checking in. It is known that they drove an hour to go to the place to see this movie.  This couple had to wait about 30-40 minutes to get checked in and they arrived there about 6:30ish. Based upon the arrival of this movie theater it looks like every other one that we have in the modern age today.  The only difference between this original 1950's drive in movie theater and the modern ones is that it is smaller, older, and darker.  Although I do have to agree with a few people in the comments that as you further get into the video, the man gets an attitude problem about the food. He does not seem to be nice about his words at that moment. The Comments On This Film Many comments on this video has praise on how this young woman looks and I have to agree with them. The woman does look so beautiful with her 1950's dres...

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era.  Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper.  This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world.  What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way.  Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time.  When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency.  Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...

This is a stunning modeled calendar gift for those who love the 1950’s! This woman is posing in front of the mirror with what looks to be like a white furry blanket. She has her hair in natural curls and is wearing makeup. She has her legs crossed at the ankle and her toes are polished in red. This woman is sitting on a small blue stool and poses with confidence. My friend has this exact same calendar she loves to collect these pinup models from the 50’s. She always says these are her favorite and aspires her to want to go into modeling.

This film starts off with talking about how people in the 1950's spent their leisure time with television and hanging out with their families. During this era, it talks about how in America their ideal imagine of what a family looked like was a father, mother, and several children.  There was never a mention about a lesbian or gay couples with children, which I find to be sad.  As well as African American couples with children to be as a family but only seemed to show those of white skin and consisted of a man and women couples.  What I do like though is that they advertise about couples staying together within their marriage and making it work.  They do not show couples who have split nor have any step parents. The ideal image is having two parents working hard in their marriages and raising their children together.  Do not get me wrong I do advocate for couples to get divorced when their marriage is unhealthy and they cannot fix it anymore or they think it is ...

During the 1950s houses were so different compared to ones today. Many of them contained popular colors such as pastel, Scandinavian, and moderns. Kitchens were usually had lots of pastel cabinets, floors, tables, chairs, and soaps.  While 50's bathrooms had tiled pastel and accented dark colors.  Others had red or colored carpets and brick walls in their living rooms.  It seemed that every room had to have a window and were smaller in size for a family home.  The 1950's style homes were built with wood shake or wood shingle roofs. The bathrooms were built to be indestructible.  These house had great charm and charisma when just gazing at them and the neighborhoods were well established too.  It is said that houses during this era were more affordable to middle and lower classes than the newer ones. One thing I have to say is they kept their houses and front yards spotless and kept them looking amazing.  Compared to our houses today the 50's houses wer...

It is said that since of the booming economy, parents could now help their children achieve more than they themselves had.  Parents encouraged their teenagers to finish highschool and paid the way for them to attend college.  Many teens during this time period had lots of freedom and were the sneakiest out of all of the generations. Many of them obtained cars from either their hard earned money or from their parents.  They used these cars to be sneaky and to drive where there was no witnesses and have a make out session and sometimes escalated to intimacy.  Many of these students during the 1950's had house parties and the purpose was to make out, use drugs, and drink to have fun.  Some slang words that they used were cruisin' for a bruisin', knuckle sandwhich, daddy-O, burn rubber, party pooper, and cool cat.  The 50's for teenagers were so much fun compared to others and lucky as well as it was almost a perfect snapshot of a certain segment of American So...

This is a stunning black and silver Crosley phone line for those who love the 1950’s. The phone has a wheel of some sort to turn to which numbers you’d like to dial. Along with how much the payphone costs to make a call. It comes with a hook for the phone line and at the bottom an area to stick your coin or coins in. Beside it is where you can collect the money you stashed in and has a long cord connected to the phone holder. My grandma used to buy phones like this one for me when I was younger, but she thought it was a toy phone instead of a real one. She ended up using this style of phone anyway as she had grown to like it.
