The Homefront 1940 to 1941 - Volume 1
Volume 1 of a 3 Part VHS Series released by Reader's Digest in 1989.
America: The Way We Were
The Home Front
1940 to 1941
Volume One
From the box: “Welcome to the America of 1940! The end of the Great Depression may be in sight, and spirits are higher. Teenagers linger over malted milks at drugstore counters as their parents head for the local movie house, where Gone With the Wind is becoming the biggest hit in motion picture history. Radio is still king, although one of the big attractions of the New York World’s Fair is something called television.
Watch – and listen – as Franklin Delano Roosevelt teaches his grandchildren to swim at their country home in Hyde Park, New York. Cross the country to San Francisco (beautiful in the summer of 1941) and visit the DiMaggio family restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf. There meet America’s most popular sports hero. It’s the “summer of the streak”: Joe DiMaggio makes at least one hit in 56 consecutive games – a new record.
In this last summer of innocence, journey on west to Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, where some of our boys (and their girls) seem to have the best duty in the U.S. Navy – until Sunday morning, December 7, 1941.”
