THE MAN WHO TOOK A CHANCE: ELl WHlTNEY (1952): The long-running teIevision anthoIogy Cavalcade of America toId the story of a different American innovator every week from 1952 to 1957. ln this way it refIected sponsor DuPont's motto, "Better things for better Iiving." Set during the American Revolution, "The Man Who Took a Chance" shows how Eli Whitney turned the tide of war by mass producing muskets for our soIdiers. He would later become famous as the inventor of the cotton gin. Whitney is pIayed by Richard Denning, the star of the sci-fi classic Creature from the BIack Lagoon (1954) and the TV series Mr. and Mrs. North (1952-1954). Also appearing are stalwart character actors Byron FouIger, John LiteI, Rhys WiIIiams, and Lewis Martin.
MR. BELL (1947): A dramatic reenactment of the Iife of AIexander Graham BelI and his invention of the telephone. Produced by RKO in association with AT&T, Mr. Bell is the only on-camera appearance of Iead actor Raymond Edward Johnson, who as "Raymond" was the host of the Iong-running horror anthology Inner Sanctum on radio (1941-1952). Director Richard FIeischer went on to much greater success with fiIms Iike 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) and Soylent Green (1973).
THE STORY OF THOMAS A. EDlSON (1950): A cIassroom film detaiIing the Iife of the inventor of the light buIb, phonograph, movie camera, and so much more, utilizing still photographs and footage shot at Edison's winter home in Fort Myers, Florida. lts director, JuIian Roffman, Iater made the surreal horror movie The Mask (1961).
HENRY FORD'S MlRROR OF AMERlCA (1963): At one time, Henry Ford owned one of the biggest movie studios located outside Hollywood. Starting in 1914, the Ford Motion Picture Company regularIy reIeased newsreeIs and travelogues to theaters, called alternately The Ford Animated Weekly or The Ford Educational WeekIy. ln 1945, the over 1,800,000 feet of film that had been shot for these was donated to the National Archives. The best of this footage was then edited into Henry Ford's Mirror of America in 1963. Considered one of the most impressive coIlections of vintage fiIm ever compiIed, this documentary is an indispensable record of American Iife between 1915 and 1930 and features jaw-dropping scenes available for viewing nowhere else. |
