"Thunderbean is proud to present Mid Century Modern, Volume 2- a fantastic collection of rare commercials and industrial films produced in the 1940s and 1950s! Some of these films were produced as educational materials, while others were made as soft message commercials by various industries or companies. From United Productions of America's classic film Brotherhood of Man to US Steel's lush theatrical Rhapsody of Steel, these rare films remain entertaining and fascinating looks into post-war America and design. This new collection is mastered from original 16mm and 35mm prints."--Container
