Title: “1957, THE INNOCENT YEARS 1900-1914”
“This film like most of the others on my channel are rescue films. These are films found in all manner of places from basement to attic but in the end they found their way here. I have an immense amount of work to do trying to clean them up well enough to show here. Not one of them is perfect and most are far beyond that. I still digitize it and post it. So don’t be too critical of the condition and try to use the information contained within.
THE INNOCENT YEARS
The years 1900-1914 are documented with Alexander Scourby narrating and Robert Russell Bennett providing the score from popular songs of the time.
The film takes a look at the years 1900 to 1914. American is between wars right now and the country has a chance to relax a bit before WWI. It is a America and things in the news such as Teddy Roosevelt, Vaudeville, film entertainment is a big hit in the silent movie and Vaudeville Houses, and the deployment of U.S. troops in Mexico. The first broadcast was in 1957.
It was written by Henry Salomon and Richard Hanser and produced by Salomon and directed by Donald B. Hyatt.
