What a completely cool husband! As soon as she is sad, he drops what he’s doing, goes over to her, listens for a bit, then says things to cheer her up and make her laugh! At this point, she is encouraged to keep doing what she was trying to do. So sweet!
This movie was probably made a few years after 1941, because the actress playing the leading role of Molly, Gloria Willis, was born in rural Florida in 1925, and she moved to New York to study acting when she was 17. She lived with her mother, and both were quite poor, depending on her own work as a hat-check girl and her mother's piecework knitting. Most of her later acting was on stage, including off-Broadway, and she was particularly close to Bill Putch and the actress Jean Stapleton, who ran the Totem Pole Playhouse. She also played at the Bucks County Playhouse when it was a repertory company, along with John Carradine, Dana Andrews, Tom Poston, and Imogene Coca. Despite the antique plot of this movie, Gloria's politics were staunchly liberal, and among the great causes of her time she numbered civil rights, organized labor, and the humane treatment of animals. She died in 2005, but she lived to see the rise of Barack Obama as a presidential prospect, and she always thought of FDR as the eloquent champion of her generation of poor children from the Great Depression. As her son, I'm now seeing this movie for the first time. She played many different roles, always with the same dedication, but the sweetness and goodness that she shows here were truly her own. Thanks for reading. Michael Shenefelt, New York University.
I appreciate your comment; widespread speculation on Obama’s presidential prospects actually began in 2004, after he had won a landslide victory in the Illinois primary for U.S. Senate, and then gave the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. My mother watched the speech on C-SPAN.
If the movie is not 1941 then it would have to be 1945 or later because no studio would have dared to spend that much resources on a non war-effort movie from 1942 to 1945. So about 1946 to 1950.
You're right, Michael- this was NOT produced in 1941. According to the June 1946 issue of FILM WORLD, it was stated that this promotional film "was recently press-previewed at New York's Monte Carlo restaurant. It was later shown to the trade at a cocktail party and was again screened in the theater atop the Chanin building, in which {J.M.} Mathes (the advertising agency who supervised the production for Burlington Mills) makes its home." So it was produced in 1946, at the time your mother was around 21 years old.

Justin W except without red hair and a little older. I think Judy garland died of suicide or something at like 30. Sad story. So many young actress' of the time died very early back then. Shows u how hard life was for women back then that some couldn't handle it.
In tenth grade our teacher had us write an essay describing our future spouse. We sealed it in an envelope to open in 10 years. I actually kept that envelope and opened it ten years later. The laugh I got out of reading my idea of the ideal future spouse! Completely opposite of my spouse!😂
I clicked on this title because it seemed uplifting. There is always something going on in the world, and well, what is most important is our effort to make the best of the present.
@@jessrich2598 it’s 2021 now and I came here to say that in response I don’t see how clothing made from China ending up in dumpsters is a smart fashion choice...glad I wear clothing from the era portrayed in this video ❤️
@@sofiabravo1994 That's so cool… Vintage clothes must be fun to wear! Honestly, things used to be built to last forever back then. My 1940's watch tells time correctly, such a robust little thing.
I use this channel to show people how commercialism drove mass media since its inception. It's really good to understand that rampant commercialism isn't a new thing.
Do you wear the same clothes to the office that you wear to do chores in? Clothing has social significance, and people used to take more seriously the idea of public space AND being responsible in public spaces. Like not talking in movie theaters; like not littering; like driving safely ...
So funny that you say that! I had a few “peasant blouses “ in the 80’s. I loved them so much. Mine were silk, not rayon. I watched a documentary about how flammable rayon is😬 I couldn’t imagine wearing it today, not too mention how hot they are. Talk about a beautiful rain coat that keeps moisture in🤣
Wedding cake cutting in the beginning has a lovely wedding cake topper just like mine. I am obsessed with those from the 40s. They are beautiful. This cute little fairytale is how we were raised in the late 60s, LOL. I try to make it true everyday rather than the violence or negativity in everyday life that is shown today. Thanks for upload.
Tomorrow will only come if you're never exposed to open flame, in which case that beautiful, rayon fabric will turn you into spinning napalm so fast it'll make your head spin.
Kam Jo well I still own some dress blouses made from Rayon and look as new as the day they were made. I don't cook in them or sit next to the fire place or in it. I've been complimented on those blouses recently as well. However I would never iron them as they could melt. I just hang them damp and they always come out wrinkle free.
Akenal Archives my grandmother was black and she loved the 40s. If you talk to any older than black person that was born in the 20s and before... they have no complaints about life. Even with segregation they still appreciate how elegant and simple things were back then

+julosx A lot of films like this are advertisements. A lot of ad's on TV now would be a lot funnier and cooler if they were like these old films. The only problem is that so much is made over seas that it would be a little annoying. I'd love to make some old films like this, it would be fun.
In "the good old days", there were hundreds of corporate "promotional films" (some lasting as long as ten minutes, a few even lasting a full hour) in distribution- usually seen wherever a 16mm projector was available {sales meetings, community affairs, and a few movie theaters}.
Eszra I know I’m quite late, but if you ever get around to making these elegant films or advertisements if you must, I can be your actress! As humbly as possible of course.
Kadyn Lyn It's funny, whenever I visit my family in the countryside, I pick up the accent or that way of talking, more. When we watch these old films, we improve our grammar! ;) It's really interesting... As well as depressing, seeing as how we all behave nowadays, don't you think? (I read your comment in the voice of the soft speaking actress here, because it sounds so proper. ;) So I thought I'd comment about it.)
I'm old enough I remember going into the ladies department at Eatons, you tell the well dressed saleswoman what you need and they would find it for you. Now I just go into a store and am horrified at the bad fabrics and lack of tailoring. I make my own and order from the UK.

21:23- Ironically, eight years later, Betty Furness would face a CBS television camera every Monday night to promote Westinghouse's line of appliances on "WESTINGHOUSE STUDIO ONE"....and became famous for doing it {"You can be SURE....if it's WESTINGHOUSE"}.

That's the first time in all my life I've EVER seen a man go and pat after a woman while she was crying. I've never seen it before and no one's ever done it for me. I didn't think men did help women when they cried!
MsSilentsiren It was common in our home. My older sister cried about everything, happy or sad. I would tease her about it all of the time. I'd tell her "Why don't you go have a good cry about that?" but I also didn't have a problem giving her a hug and telling her that everything would be fine if she was genuinely upset.
It's a natural human response to want to comfort those you care about.... I've seen men comfort women, women comfort men, etc. Like. What kind of men have you been spending your time with??
Typically worn by the ones who couldn’t pass an IQ test or touch their toes-because they can’t see them. I believe they are simply public service announcements for everything one needs to know about the proliferation of eye bleach.
There were 11 different manufacturers this film was "tailored" for, to promote their line of undergarments, pajamas, negligees, slips, et. al. (all created with "Bur-Mil" rayon fabrics). Their individual segments were inserted into the film as part of the "television fashion show" at 23:20 [through 28:20]. THIS version of the film highlighted the products of "Manhattan Undergarment Company, Inc.", the makers of "newform" slips.
+Nia Allah Yes, they put make up on features like that to make them stand out more against whatever kind of film they were using. If they didn't color her mouth, she would have looked pale as a ghost on camera.
no ones gonna talk abt how she asked her husband how her dress looks in the back & how he didnt even look at it and he said “why should i no one else is gonna look either”😭😂
Too bad clothes are not made today as carefully as then... Now, it's all crappy clothes from China! And nobody cares about the manufacturing process... Bring back Bur-mill... However, I hated Rayon; raunchy! If you ironed it too hot it melted like butter!
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 i adore vintage ladies fashion,just look how beautifully everything was arranged and styled and the ladies and shop personnel are dressed immaculate and all so slim❤"how do you do"goog heavens 😂😂😂today if you can find someone to help you they are chatting or texting on their phones and ig you ask for help they will give you that "you are disturbing me"look😢,dressing every morning must have been a whole routine ❤❤❤
"Condemned to remember", just means she's going to be in the paper first thing in the morning looking to buy Burlington Mills stocks. Then she'll get rich and have her second wedding be the one she always wanted.

In reality, 1941 television was just coming out of the "experimental" stage, and into an early form of commercial broadcasting [in New York, WCBW {later WCBS} and WNBT {now WNBC} became the first licensed TV stations to schedule just a few TV programs every week]- but there were less than a thousand TV sets in the New York area at that time....and only a handful of stations were on the air across the United States- with no "coast-to-coast" TV transmissions as yet.
@@fromthesidelines It could of been a private showing, some how, utilizing a Television Transmission of that era? There isn't much information about this...
CBS was nice enough to lend the producer a camera for the simulated "television fashion show" sequence- but you couldn't really fit EVERYTHING onto a small 10 inch screen {the standard picture size of the day}......and at the time, WCBW [later WCBS] in New York was on for only a few hours at night, Thursday through Sunday.....in black and white. Perhaps WCBW telecast this once around that period......
This is a great video. The women were so beautiful, but it does seem like it's a post-war video just because in 1941, the armed services would have needed most of the raw materials for the war effort, since we would be involved in WWII by the end of the year. I'm thinking this film was released soon after WWII ended in 1945. The lingerie in this video is very beautiful.
Television in 1946 was still quite rudimentary and there still was only a comparative handful of TVs in use in just a few cities in the USA. So the audience for the show that is broadcast from the department store would've consisted of only a few hundred people, at best. Television would grow immensely within the next 5 to 10 years, though.
@@DinoLondis No, I meant the television show that's part of this story, starting at 21:02. Betty Furness says at the start of this fashion show that this program is being brought to "thousands of American homes through the magic of that most dramatic of modern wonders, television." In reality, at that time, as I said earlier there would've been perhaps hundreds of TV viewers.
Please help I have been watching 1950s short films for 3 hours.

Lmaooo
😆😆😆
Her shoes at 5:30 are giving me life
The description box had me 😂🤣💀
Women would've gotten Arrested back then if they went to the Supermarket wearing "See Through" yoga Pants.
Yes, so sad girls/women are "unstylish and lacking Class and grace these days. They have no idea how to be a "Woman".
+ayni aynis So Right you are.
And that ladies and gentlemen is pure ignorance at it's finest.

Typically worn by the ones who couldn’t pass an IQ test or touch their toes-because they can’t see them. I believe they are simply public service announcements for everything one needs to know about the proliferation of eye bleach.
4$ for a rayon blouse???
In today’s $ thats nearly $75!
There were 11 different manufacturers this film was "tailored" for, to promote their line of undergarments, pajamas, negligees, slips, et. al. (all created with "Bur-Mil" rayon fabrics). Their individual segments were inserted into the film as part of the "television fashion show" at 23:20 [through 28:20]. THIS version of the film highlighted the products of "Manhattan Undergarment Company, Inc.", the makers of "newform" slips.
Does that little girl have on lipstick too?!!
+Nia Allah Yes, they put make up on features like that to make them stand out more against whatever kind of film they were using. If they didn't color her mouth, she would have looked pale as a ghost on camera.
Gobs of it. What is it with producers? Everybody looks like a clown. They still do that today.
no ones gonna talk abt how she asked her husband how her dress looks in the back & how he didnt even look at it and he said “why should i no one else is gonna look either”😭😂
Too bad clothes are not made today as carefully as then... Now, it's all crappy clothes from China! And nobody cares about the manufacturing process... Bring back Bur-mill... However, I hated Rayon; raunchy! If you ironed it too hot it melted like butter!
ok wow the new form segment of this ad really has me wanting a new form slip
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 i adore vintage ladies fashion,just look how beautifully everything was arranged and styled and the ladies and shop personnel are dressed immaculate and all so slim❤"how do you do"goog heavens 😂😂😂today if you can find someone to help you they are chatting or texting on their phones and ig you ask for help they will give you that "you are disturbing me"look😢,dressing every morning must have been a whole routine ❤❤❤
The bridal staircase looks like the inside of the Beverly Hillbillies house!
This is the first (and last) film I saw presented by the Manhattan Undergarment Company, Inc.
"Condemned to remember", just means she's going to be in the paper first thing in the morning looking to buy Burlington Mills stocks. Then she'll get rich and have her second wedding be the one she always wanted.
Funny... girls are the same even 75 years ago... though I have a soft spot for formal styled ladies.
So that was basically a half hour rayon commercial? 😂
Nowadays, no store clerk would stand there and explain all the intricate details of fabric without you entire store 😂
oh boy commercials used to be quite long back then :D
“Not TOO handsome...” #theshade lol
Those slips are the bomb! For us old fogies anyway 🤭
Don't dis rayon. It really is a miracle fabric. You think that I am joking, but modern fabrics really are incredible.
Gregson Vaux I’ve always liked the way rayon hangs. It has a nice smoothness and “ hand” to it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Newform goes by Maidenform nowadays, right?
Robert Gist (1917-1998), who plays husband “Bob,” married Agnes Moorehead in 1953, separated in 1954 and was divorced from her in 1958. Gist was 17 years Moorehead’s junior.
Very sweet and nostalgic!
I'd wear the shoes now. I I love 1940s fashion.
Have you ever wore a shirt so often That it actually became part of your personality I have And so has my mother I Once saw a woman create a Quilt She used pieces of clothing from everybody in her Family A little square from brother A little square from Her baby's clothing She named it the family Quilt
That looks like two strip Technicolor. If you notice there is no pure blue to be seen. I would love to go back to 1940, I was hoping to see some more television equipment besides the iconoscope camera. Gloria Willis sure was pretty.
Her face looks greenish
I wish that we can have that again.everthig comes in the carton and you dont have to say can someone help me.that way are always there.and good customer service
can i live mollys life rn?!!! im from the year 2017 can i go back to a decade like this for just 24h please please please!!
In reality, 1941 television was just coming out of the "experimental" stage, and into an early form of commercial broadcasting [in New York, WCBW {later WCBS} and WNBT {now WNBC} became the first licensed TV stations to schedule just a few TV programs every week]- but there were less than a thousand TV sets in the New York area at that time....and only a handful of stations were on the air across the United States- with no "coast-to-coast" TV transmissions as yet.
Of course Television was in it's infancy, but these films were shown in the Movie Theaters...
I don't know about movie theaters, but this was primarily shown in places outside of traditional theaters, as this was a sales film.
@@fromthesidelines It could of been a private showing, some how, utilizing a Television Transmission of that era? There isn't much information about this...
CBS was nice enough to lend the producer a camera for the simulated "television fashion show" sequence- but you couldn't really fit EVERYTHING onto a small 10 inch screen {the standard picture size of the day}......and at the time, WCBW [later WCBS] in New York was on for only a few hours at night, Thursday through Sunday.....in black and white. Perhaps WCBW telecast this once around that period......
@@fromthesidelinesOkay, I understand now, but was this saved on Film or Kinescope, and how about it being Filmed in Color? Was that added later?
I can’t find any information on this Gloria Willis anywhere. Was she in anything else did she marry?
That saleswoman just will not shut up about Bur-mil fabrics. Talk about a hard sell.
Beautiful music
Boy am I sold! I'm gonna get me a New Form Slip! and Im a guy lmao
So lovely.
LOL! That song at the end.😅
Nothing beats women’s hair styles from the 1940’s.
I loved this real life fairy tail... ❤️😘🤩
This is a great video. The women were so beautiful, but it does seem like it's a post-war video just because in 1941, the armed services would have needed most of the raw materials for the war effort, since we would be involved in WWII by the end of the year. I'm thinking this film was released soon after WWII ended in 1945. The lingerie in this video is very beautiful.
Has access to to the future......just wants gloves.

"He'll have black hair..." She wound up marrying a coppertop. Lost me there.
❤ AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER...
Television in 1946 was still quite rudimentary and there still was only a comparative handful of TVs in use in just a few cities in the USA. So the audience for the show that is broadcast from the department store would've consisted of only a few hundred people, at best. Television would grow immensely within the next 5 to 10 years, though.
My guess is that this was played at a fabrics convention.
@@DinoLondis No, I meant the television show that's part of this story, starting at 21:02. Betty Furness says at the start of this fashion show that this program is being brought to "thousands of American homes through the magic of that most dramatic of modern wonders, television." In reality, at that time, as I said earlier there would've been perhaps hundreds of TV viewers.
Why, it's all just a commercial for BUR-MIL Fabrics!
