> Gary and other interested tipsters,
By sheer chance, I have come across a resource for these educational films
from the 1950s. "Our Secret Century:Archival films from the darker side of the
American Dream" provides a twelve volume collection (2 volumes per package) of
these films, with interesting commentary and supplemental materials. They have
volumes on behavioral control, risk-taking, teenage rebellion, gender role,
exercise, etc. The graphics and audio are pretty good. I am thinking about
using these both in class and perhaps as outside of class reaction papers. They
are produced by Voyager - 1(800) 446-2001 or www.voyagerco.com.
Hope this helps.
