a hug from Chile. Every video I enjoy. Thanks for the work you do in this channel.

Everything featured in this film is floating around in the Pacific to this very day! ;)

I would bet real money that the actress who played the "stewardess", was Noel Neill, the original Lois Lane from the 1952 -... Superman television program.

Great old film, technically an early “docu-‘drama” about the newly invented material called Plastic! I did learn something. Lol. Even though I collected different types of ‘bakelight’ items for years, (mostly antique radios and early television sets) and was quite familiar with ‘bakelight’, I have never heard it referred to as a “type of plastic” until now. And if anyone would know, I’m pretty confident the makers of this film would, despite having had many people tell me the contrary over the years. Thx again

Beautiful DC-3 👍👏

A fascinating, well-produced film; thank you for posting it. To think I was six years old when it was made!

Noel Neill was adorable!

In the future they will fit four "seats" in the space of one seat on that plane.

This is a heck of a lot better than "Plan 9 from Outer Space" lol

That stewardess is Lois Lane from ‘The Adventures of Superman ‘!

Thank you for this piece of art

Nice video 👏🏻

Never seen this before and luckily I represent the true plastic generation from when bottles were mostly all glass to all bottles were plastic and now when I only can carry groceries home in a plastic bag because I started hoarding them when California first banned them

She was warm for his form.

Keep these wonderful videos coming!!!👌

They couldn't even dream of the plastics we have today!

They breezed through security!

Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Benjamin: Yes, sir. Mr. McGuire: Are you listening? Benjamin: Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire: Plastics. Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean? Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?

This is one of those corny films that immediately takes me back to elementary school. Periodically, we would be shown one of these lost gems, and they made a big impression on me

...thank of the behavior of human, we have now plastic islands in every Ocean and Micro plastic even in our water, soil, food and in our bodys...Hurray to plastic!!! I started slowly cut out of my life...

And now all the Planet is overpolluted with the plastics they so much admired in 1952!

At the same times asbestos was promoted heavily, it was a worthy rival, although with largely different features Asbestos was banned, now plastics is a huge problem because it's hard to recycle (costly especially) and it sticks around for too long. The impact on the environment can not be overstated. Maybe plastics made out of plants could bring some solace, I had some shares of this Dutch company called Avantium (they have made some remarkable discoveries). It's still costly to mass produce, but there is hope for improvement

They didn't discuss the plastic that prevents too many grandchildren. Ill have the train set please.

I always fly No Name airlines.

I’m trying to start a plastic museum!

What a contrived scenario. But it has its charms, I suppose. The cockpit set appeared to have too much headroom, with an almost cathedral-height ceiling and matching door.

Obrigado

Maravilhoso !!

Ótimo video

Grew up watching films like this in grade school and on our old b&w TV. Really corny, but I think we learned a little, too. As plastic became more common, my daily job of taking out and burning the trash became more fun. A natural-born pyro, I quickly learned how burning plastic would throw off thick black carcinogenic smoke which (when the wind was right) would drift into the neighbor's kitchen window and generally pollute the entire neighborhood, after that.

Oh the fifties...🥰unlimited confidence in the brightest future and legitimate sex...

In the 1950's we considered anything made of plastic to be cheap rubbish...of course, we couldn't see into the future! Today, remove all plastic and we're back in the Stone Age!

Now we have the great Pacific garbage patch

wow so cool even the our comptures is made of plastics cups drink out like macdona or burgerking lots of plastics too ty for showing this RR :)

This so bad it was good.

Good heavens! Noel Neill was certainly put together; nothing like the ladies of today. Even her voice was incredibly pleasant.

Little did they know that in the future plastic is villified for 'environmental issues'...

at 0.08 Union Carbide

All that for one passenger.

Could that be Burbank (Bob Hope) airport?

If they were really flying they would be feeling turbulence.

XX

No se porqué todavía al planeta le llaman Tierra, cuando hay más plástico que tierra

Plastics dates back to 1869. So what is the point of this film?

Anything to snag a hubby back in those days. Today it's, "I don't need your mansplaining BS. And get cho damn hands off me!"

and now we have microplastics in every living organism... fascinating and sad watch

This makes me glad I didn’t live in the 50’s.

Der letzte Mist !!!
