- Are you curious about what was right and what was wrong for children in America in the middle of the 20th century? Are you a concerned parent or counselor on child behavior? This Video is a must have for all those who are. This Video contains a rare collection of films on the behavior and moral ethics that American children were expected to adopt in the '40s and '50s. Innovative Video technology has made it possible for us to restore and preserve these celluloid masterpieces. Good manners are the first mark of good breeding and reflect directly on a person's upbringing. Good manners are based on a simple formula - consideration for other people. It means putting the other person first, even at the cost of inconvenience to you. Good manners are a person's subconscious display of what they expect from others. The essence of this philosophy is found in the much-used Bible quote "Do unto others as you would have them do to you". This Video recounts the emphasis that was laid on good manners and high moral values in the '40s and '50s. The lessons are relevant to the present times as well.
