Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane when I was a fashion illustrator in NYC in the late 60s and 70s before I raised a family! One of our great assignments in fashion art school was to walk up and down Fifth Ave. sketching the fashions and describing them in detail that were in all the store windows! Fun assignment and I got an A plus on my report! Sadly, many of the great famous dept. stores are gone now like Best and Co., Bonwit Tellers, B. Altmans and one of my all time favorites, beautiful Lord & Taylors that had the best creative magical Christmas windows! Interesting to see the cars back then that looked like Godzilla had stepped on them, low and squat looking! I used to hang out at the MET almost every weekend! Great beautiful historic and cultural city with many cherished memories!
Best and Co. was bought by Nordstroms (Nordstrom Best).
Lord & Taylor was my favorite store too. Someone should have saved it. People would flock to it now. Nordstrom should have bought Lord &Taylor. One had an unexplainable great feeling when walking into that store, every time.
When I was younger child all of my clothes came from Best and Co. My great Uncle worked there for many years .
It could change, when we get back into dresses/ skirts as standard
Pants wasn't supposed to be all the time
@@kbunky69 Back in the mid 60s, my mother was shopping at Best's famous children's department. The sales women were so excited because only a few minutes before Jackie Kennedy (she wasn't yet an Onassis back then) and her daughter Caroline were in the department shopping for children's clothes.
In the late 60s, I was shopping at Best's junior department, and the singer Leslie Gore (It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want to) was narrating a fashion show. The models were dancers from the Joffrey Ballet.
In the late 60s, I was walking through the first floor of Saks Fifth Avenue when I spotted Helen Gurley Brown (Sex and the Single Girl, Cosmopolitan Magazine) buying leather gloves.
Love the ending, “Ladies & Gentlemen, boys & girls”! That’s it, no confusion, no extra letters, plain, simple & truthful.
I think it’s so refreshing to see a man or woman well dressed and well groomed. Sorry we don’t see to much of it anymore. ❤
I so wish we could go back to that.🙄 If those people could see the appearance of most people these days, I would imagine they'd be horrified.
almost as refreshing as the sexist comment at the end about girls 'putting it away without putting on an ounce'... what is truly refreshing is being able to dress how you want to and not be judged or pressured to looking a particular way and spending your money on the attire dictated by the expectations of the era
@@Deepal-6991 Not true. you are judged, rightly or wrongly, partly based on the appearance you wish to present to the world.
@@ArnoldSommerfeld you are funny 😄
@@Deepal-6991and correct. Just because you want to be oblivious to it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
This was really fun to watch. The Revlon salon was super fancy with the antique foot tub! I loved how Carol stepped behind a privacy screen to remove her coat and scarf 😂
Hahaha
Right?!! 😅
I loved the fashions of the 60’s.
Being ones best, enhances ones self Image, confidence, value, and Wellbeing.
It was so beautiful back then…glamorous elegant and prestigious!We love 60s 🎉!
Behind all that "glamour" ... Men were alcoholic and cheating on their wives, women popped pills to deal with depression, were treated like objects and house servants, racism and segregation rampant, no individualism.. lol fun indeed.
I lived most of my life in Manhattan and it’s amazing how not much has changed in terms of how it looks. It’s beautiful seeing spaces I’ve shared being enjoyed before my time. I love how Central Park even then was a “go in the day time” place.I loved watching this. I hope Amanda Blake continued to have a beautiful life full of memories at FAO. That place is really magical. Manhattan in general is magical when you really take in the sights
How I was raised in Baltimore. Dressing for shopping downtown at all the big elegant stores. So sad to see things fall away. I miss it all ❤
My dad loved the 60s. He told me that time was fashionable and music was great . I wish I lived in that time .
It's important I think that if we miss a better, fashionable time with good music, the way we act should reflect that. As in, be the change you wish to see and dress up better when we go out and have good manners.
@23sexycutie, if you’re a millennial or Z then no you don’t wish you lived in the 1960s. You wouldn’t last five minutes then - racism and misogyny were very rampant and, believe it or not, socially acceptable at that time.
He wasn't in Hanoi??? Lot of young men were fighting in the war and unlike the past 20 years there was a draft for military service.
It always makes me feel good when I come across a young person like yourself who appreciates the Fabulous Fifties & the Swinging Sixties. Think Bill Haley and the beginning of rock'n'roll and a new youth culture in the 1950s, followed by Elvis, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, and so many others. Think of the Swinging Sixties: Beatle mania and Swinging London; Chubby Checker and "Let's Twist Again"; Litttle Eva & "The Loco-motion" (look them up on UA-cam); la dolce vita on Via Veneto in Rome;"The Girl from Ipanema & the Bossa Nova in Rio; the 1967 Summer of Love in San Franciso and the thrilling race to the moon between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.....
Goodness! Looking back it really was wonderful! At 80! This is elegance personified! What a great era. That was the America I love and want to see return.
Spectaculaire . Unfortunately, this is nevermore. Bygone era. Such a shame.😢
What do you think happened?
Plutocracy happened and wiped out the middle class.
@@marylou3995 One % own everything.
Hart Cellar act of 1965, no fault divorce, feminism, abandonment of the gold standard and a dozen other things....
Вот и нас это в России растраивает, тоже всё одеты как в Европе одинаковые, и редко элегантно.
Makes me sad to see what we once were compared to what we've become
What have we become? Everything changes. The 1960s weren't like the 1940s and that wasn't like the 30s and so on back in history.
@@413smr Homeless degenerate methheads, but yeah everything changes so it's all good.
@413smr: Exactly. And let's not forget we were still hanging black people from trees during this time period. Southern trees do indeed "bear strange fruit". And a host of other issues, not to mention the difference in medicine then and now. People like to look at the past through rose-colored glasses. It makes them feel better about their past and justifies their dislike of anything that has changed since their "glory days". But they often forget that life, in fact, becomes harder the further back in time you go. Also, ask any person who ISN'T a cis gendered white person, particularly male, if THEY would like to go back in time and live in the 1960s or earlier. I feel that you would largely get a response of "hell no!"
That said, it is illuminating and informative to take a glance back at these artifacts from the past because it gives us a glimpse into how people of that time period, for good or for ill, thought about the world they lived in.
@@KevinSigman yeah a tiny segment of Democrats were still hanging black people, that being said everything else in society was better. But yeah I guess things can’t be better because some asshole racist democrats were acting like they still do.
My mom dressed my sister and myself in our Sunday best, including hats and cloves to shop at Bullocks and Buffums dept. stores (Long Beach Ca) it was a very special time.
I miss this America.
This is the life of the 1 percent not the average middle class American at the time. Despite all the whining most Americans got it better now than back then.
Wow!!...Was that NYC?! Such glamour and service! Hard to believe ...😢
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
The 195s and 60s were the best decades of the 2nd half of the 20th century. It was a great time to enjoy one's youth,.
I used to work in Lord&Taylor loved it. I see it used to be two way traffic then. One question when and why did we stop dressing up to go to the theatre 😢?
Because Woman Fought To Wear Pants 👖 that what changed back in those days it was unheard of for a woman to leave the house without her purse and gloves
@RugbyFootballer - I don't know why women wanted to wear pants so bad, I find them constricting and uncomfortable.
@@RugbyFootballer there are dress pants, so that can’t be the reason
@@kristinazubic9669 I am talking about jeans and such
@nathalienurse3336 I still dress up to go out to the theatre, the ballet, or the opera. 😊
This is the middle of the last century and you see traffic almost bumper to bumper. High speed chases with the paps H&M? I think not.
My family was in the retail business. I loved this New York. The post war years were exciting. Gone forever.
People were well dressed, had manners and spoke coherently.....
I look back at our family photos & all my brothers had little sports jackets. We always dressed to go into the Circus, Ice Capades, Radio City & the Nutcracker. My sister & I always wore matching dresses. Not twins 😂
I was a kid back then, but how I long for those days! Most people seemed to take pride in the way they presented themselves, and were so much more civilized....
We were all polite and had manners.
@@suzanneterrey4499 You took the words right out of my mouth!!! 😅
I grew up in Canada in those years. Yes, it was so much more civilized and even the poor had class. So sad to see the downfall of our nations.
@@bonniebluebell5940 civilized and segregated! 😁👍
What a wonderful trip back in time!
Hi how are you doing?
To Jim Crow.
I was born in the sixties not far from NYC. America has lost something, we're going to hell in a handbasket. I'm embarrassed for our time.
So you're embarrassed for our time? You see it as inferior. And you probably are "kind" to your inferiors. One wonders where you find them.
@@andream8234the west
The events of 2020 have taken our spirits . The people who are to blame - need to be punished. @@trevormichael4906
Yup. Born in ‘66. The 80’s was WONDERFUL! So optimistic about the future. And it was great!! Sadly the past 10 yrs have been a twisted nightmare. I feel for my kids!
I am in SHOCK at how many people decided to have babies during the lockdown. @@maguffintop2596
I grew up in NYC & always dressed going to midtown. I remember returning to the city in the late 1970’s after a long absence & being surprised when I saw people wearing very casual clothes in midtown & on 5th Nowadays … 😢
I was a child and teenager during the fifties and sixties in my native city. Civility in dress, manners and fine comportment common . As child of working class family, I was expected to live up to these expectations. I recall all of these lovely shops. What I missed were B. Altman and Company. Rizzoli Bookstore, Hallmark Gallery, etc. A few years ago I showed my dear friend where I worked during one summer after I graduated from high school at Tiffany & Co. on the 3rd floor, the crystal and china dept. During that era of the sixties, all salespersons were tastefully dressed, extremely courteous to customers and clients were so presentable. I was totally appalled when I led my friend into the store a few years ago and found most clients dressed in jeans, running shoes, quilted jackets, sales people were few on the third floor which no longer was the china and crystal dept. But is was almost like a gallery of handbags and other knick-knacks. It was deeply sad. Thank you for presenting the New York that I love so much.
I agree with you and feel the same way about current life versus what we had in the 50's and 60's.
Y’all always worry about the wrong things.
@@melb2336Did you ever think about the fact that YOU are out of step and need to concern yourself with your own appearance. Leaving a good first impression can affect your life and your future by showing how you view yourself and if you have high standards.
@@suzanneterrey4499 I concern myself more with my own mind and my own agenda. Times have changed 😂
@@melb2336 Ignorance is bliss.
The Revlon salon looks expensive even by 1960s standards.
Competing with the Helena Rubenstein and Elizabeth Arden salons
Watching this film was like watching a movie from the 60's with all the glamor and sophistication of the old Hollywood movies. I half expected to see Doris Day at any moment!
Doris Day - and Rock Hudson!
I found this relaxing.
In my youth would go on the New Haven Train into NYC, sure brings back flash memories of those times. Like any thing, nothing ever stays the same. always, Tommy🤠
Looking back, NYC was much civilized, peaceful & respectful city to live, wondering why today’s the same city is totally opposite, should we all wake up to find the reasons?!
Many sad reasons...a lot to do with politics...others with dramatic changes in culture and lower standards of morality...
Lower income blacks & Puerto Ricans nearly destroyed the city with crime back in the 70s through the early 90s. Companies and people moved out in droves. Now Queens, Brooklyn, and almost all of the Bronx are populated with 3rd world immigrants that have replaced the Americans that have left. New York now are 70% people of color. Yes, a dramatic change
all into the past along with the real class, style, grace, common courtesy, and manners and respect for each other i would go back to that time in a minute
I’m turning 61 in August. I’m so happy that I have some memory of these days.
Very interesting document. The 60s in USA were a hell of a decade
A Columbus day parade?!? Different times indeed. 😢
Brilliantly done... The beauty of New York City.🙏🏾👍🏾
Ah, my home from the age of 10 to 26 in that time and at that place. What a beautiful memory.
Imagine! Nobody is obese, everyone is well dressed, nobody is taking a selfie, the streets are clean. Incredible how far everything has fallen. 🤡🌎
still looks like that in our bourgeois sections of town
@@kimanikurt465 Yeah you gotta be rich nowadays to be anywhere close to living the american dream . most americans are scraping by today. Back then the middle class was booming and everything was high quality and well made and you can actually move up the social ladder.
Mom was a model for Ben zuckerman for many years. Those were the days my friend!
@@waterissogood this is New York City though, not a “sundown town”
@@waterissogood the OP said “nobody is obese, everyone is well dressed, nobody is taking a selfie, the streets are clean” in this film of NYC back then. They were comparing present day NYC on these four points, not bringing in any other topic.
This is a very informative feature…it brings anyone to wonderful memories over the evolution of Fifth Avenue, NY
Sad what NYC has become.
This was spectacular to watch, thank you!! ❤❤❤
I miss the days when people actually paid attention while they were walking instead of walking down the street with their faces glued to their damn cell phones.
Love the narration!
I hope St Patrick’s Cathedral is still open 24/7.
Even back in the 1950s NYC had the most beautiful modern architectural landmarks: the Seagram Building (1958) and Lever House (1951-52). Both on Park Avenue. Those two are classics that have maintained their sublime elegance -- perfect proportions and clean detailing.
Ugh... modern Architecture... depressing glass boxes, a city full of beautiful pre war architecture and you mention those courses cultureless cubes? Architecture like that is a crime against the people of a society, especially considering the real architecture that was likely destroyed to build it. There hasn't been beautiful architectural styles since WWII, 99% of it all is disgustingly ugly and cheap drek devoid of place or soul.
Grew up in NYC and worked in this neighborhood. By this time NYC was in decline, but still much more classier than today.
So true, then the drugs , mob and gangs took over .
10:06 That breathtaking million-dollar Tiffany canary diamond is now worth $30 million
Our country is unrecognizable today.
Fifth and Madison are still my favorite areas
There were a lot fewer of us back then, and we were better dressed, too.
Such a different world now 60 years later.
That was just wonderful 😊
What a wonderful country. Thank you for presenting this film.
"Those were the days, my friend"...
A popular song from the late 60s.
@@j.g.8494 right on 😉
I cannot even imagine some of the people around today walking around then. Underwear hanging out, tattoos all over, pajama bottoms in the middle of day...sigh. I wonder what people then would have even thought?
Sorry, but 3rd world immigration has made New York to a dump
This is FABULOUS!
Now we’ve pregnant men on magazine covers. So much we devolved…. What a time to be alive before. When men were men and women were women.
Even the dummy kids are better dressedthan half of the people today ✨
And no tattoos. Except sailors
@@kathleenking47 Exactly. People have trashed their bodies and dress like trash.
@@areguapiri And the powers that be WANT it that way. They are throwing young mothers holding children with tattoos in your face in commercials to normalize this fad. they also are trying to normalize birth control, abortion and lowering the age of consent for children. The schools are complicit. Darkness is being highlighted and encouraged by endless murder shows, horror movies, occult practices being normalized and trying to push it on the kids who are not being protected by parents. Parents, are you aware what your children are watching?
Just lovely. 🌸🌸🌸
I have both the walnut and peanut pill boxes! Wonder if they are from Tiffany’s 😮
This certainly is a bygone era.😢
Great time capsule color footage! Lived in Jersey, Worked in midtown,43rd at 8th. Sundays I would take my dates into the city.Go to the museums, lunch/dinner at Top of the Sixes, 666 Fifth, road show movies, Cleopatra, West Side Story, My Fair Lady,Holiday shows at Radio City, walk up and down 5th. Stop into St. Pats and say a prayer that my career would be able to continue to pay for the good life. It was an adult Disneyland.Subway was an E-ticket ride.60th-125th in less than 5 minutes. Remember seeing this show when it first aired
Even the prices back in 1963 are expensive today in 2023, 60 years later.
Back then, a dress was $20 and an average house was $10,000.
Today, a dress is $20 at TJMax, and an average house is over $200,000.
@@AFAskygoddess $200,000? You're being kind. More like $500K for a starter home.

Love the American made cars!
Plus anything that was made in the America I once knew..

Hello hope all’s well with you?
Thanks Periscopes!
Traffic on 5th Avenue is much different today.
Brooklyn born and bred.We dressed up to.go into THE CITY.I miss the older department stores.
I think the narrator made a mistake about the Tiffany's diamond being mined in 1978, since this was filmed in the sixties. Even the Twin Towers hasn't been built yet.
I noticed that too. Maybe 1878?
@@can72287That is correct...

LOVED this !!!!!
What everyone misses is the Europeaness of early post modern USA.
Well ..., not quite. America in the 1900-1960 time frame had hints of France, London, Italy, Swiss, Czech etc in it, but there was a very American look to everything. More importantly, out-look to everything. It was strictly this american feeling that washed over every avenue and road like that of a cool wave.
Thank you fir sharing.
I loved it!
8:40 $1500 Tiffany shovel, here they were acting all SUPREME, BALENCIAGA crazy back then.... my my.... how the times HAVEN'T changed.
IMDb Credit: Television travel show pioneer Jack Douglas was born Jonathan Aivez in Iran in 1921 and was of Assyrian ancestry. Almost all TV travel shows ultimately followed the format Douglas created in the 1950's. He was a champion of color television and was insistent on filming in color, even back in 1954 when even color shows were broadcast in black & white. His Keyhole television series broke ground as what he called a "documatic" - a dramatized documentary, that covered diverse subjects like aspiring actors, female judo experts, skydivers in action, a handler of poisonous snakes and a tour of the French Riviera. America! was another Douglas-produced series that lasted for one season in syndication, 1964-65, and was produced and distributed by CBS. Douglas also allegedly retained ownership of his film library, although it is unknown why these master films are unavailable for viewing, with only very poor-quality copies available at various internet sites. Douglas passed away in 1994.
The director of beauty ❤
I’m 70 this year and I’m so deeply saddened by the decay of nyc in my lifetime! What an indictment on our Nation without God😔
Don't be sad. You're just facing irrelevance, it's literally happened to all those before you who were unable to adapt to a changing world.
Cheer up! It'll be ok, you'll be gone soon :)
@@SweetJeopardy I’m more relevant than I’ve ever been before in my life. I’m going from glory to glory; nyc has become the irrelevant hell hole.
THAT ERA IS LONG GONE !!!
There was a golden Owl with a coke spoon. @9:15 😂
Exactly what I was thinking 😜
I love how everything was so constipated in the 1960s.
Gee, I just wonder what the problem could be today?🙄. How did we get here😧from there😊? I am plenty old enough to know at least some of the answers to those questions.
THE SPLENDOR PAST OF MANHATTAN. 1960....2023. 🇺🇸👀👌
sterling silver shovel and the golden walnut pill holders I love
Imagine how much that shovel would be worth today.
That Tiffany diamond is valued at $30 million now.
I cant wait to stay At The Fifth Avenue Hotel!!
So much class back then.
Slob culture took over and eliminated the market for elegance. Megan Thee Stallion replaced Grace Kelly.
Civil, respect, and a great time to grow up. Able to play outside and have values from mom and dad. Being black, I didn't experience racism, so I don't know what people are talking about. I grown up in a respectable projects. Your parents had to be married to live in Brooklyn, Kingsboro projects. Boy was it a good time to be a child. The holidays was the best on 43th street and stopping. Stealing was unheard of. You just didn't do it. Time is suppose to get better not worse.
Once in a while I would dress up to the 9's and walk in Manhattan to go shopping. 😅😅😅
Sounds like fun! And can take some pictures of yourself on your adventure. 🎉
This episode is from a 1960s TV series entilted "America". The series seems to celebrate and summarize America's achievements when it was at the peak of its power and prestige in the 1950s and 60's - up to circa 1964-65. After that, everything started to change, including the way people lived, dressed and behaved. The change was obvious by the late 1960s.
It seems like there is no other documentation about this America! series out there that I could find. I wonder what other episodes were produced.
These were RICH people, white rich people, they had money to buy great clothing, saying that for the men in the comments who says women dont dress elegantly anymore. If you are so pressed, give money to women so they can buy these stuff.
I can imagine the nerdiest kid in my classroom going to retrieve the movie projector, and us all sitting through this movie in class.
FYI: My thoughts of those "nerdy media kids" who handled projectors and such were shattered when in the 1980s , several of my friends got jobs as movie theatre projectionists ! They were in a UNION . job protection , made a good salary , saw movies for FREE, were pretty much "on their own" while at work and could study / read / talk on the phone while on the job ! Lastly, you don't have to be in until 11 AM ! No early hours! I was jealous ! I even attempted to find a job as one -- VERY difficult because you have to know someone first and be an "apprentice". (my friends lived in another state so I could not train with them) . But yeah, not easy to get a job in that profession , and now -- it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE .
You can tell that everybody knew how to carry themselves and had manners. Today, narcissists with smart mouths.
Darlings, WALL STREET has been stripping us of all things that made us great . Now it’s flash theft gangs .
I remember this time...
Wow $5300 for a diamond deer head pin is a steal! I’ll take 5 please.
