Radio In War - A Key to Victory - Is a fascinating
look at the role played by radio in World War II. It also provides a great
in depth look at the election process where we see one of the earliest uses
of radio and other electronic media in use during elections. This DVD is
also part of our History Of Radio Collection.
Enjoy over an hour of fascinating radio
history.
Voice of Victory (1944)
This movie shows how radio equipment helped to win World War II. Not only do
you see great footage of the signal corp., but if you are interested in
collectible radios then you'll love the look at one of the most important
radios of the war.
If your an owner of the Hallicrafters HT-4 or the military version, BC-610
transmitter, this movie provides a great overview. Shown are the roots of
the model based in the HT-4 and how it was modified for military service.
This model originally sold in the range of $600 - $700, rivaling the cost of
a car of that era. Hallicrafters and other companies produced better then
25,000 of these historic radios.
As one reviewer said "The movie was actually useful as an aid in repairing
my BC-610. I saw how the chassis were handled and mated together. Good
background information."
A highly recommended movie for radio fans.
Radio at War (1944)
Is an entertaining story about the importance of radio during WWII. The
movie follows two brothers as they first discover the joys of radio at home
by using HAM sets. We travel with the bothers as they enlist in the service.
They are assigned to work with radios, and show the dedication that so
marked this era. The movie has wonderful charm and a story which kept me
both interested and entertained.
I'm sure you will also find this a heart warming look at a difficult period
and a great look at how the technology of radio helped in the war effort.
Tuesday in November (1945)
Idealized portrayal of 1944 U.S. presidential election, made to show the
world that the United States was sufficiently secure to hold a free and fair
election during wartime. Shows campaign activities, efforts to ensure the
secrecy of the ballot and fairness of the election, and media coverage of
the electoral process, all culminating in a giant nighttime gathering in
Times Square where a huge crowd awaits the result. Director: John Houseman
(unaccredited). Assistant Director: Nicholas Ray. Animation: John Hubley.
Music: Virgil Thomson.
As part of the postwar effort, the United States government produced a
series of films to help the war torn countries of Europe and Asia in setting
up American style democracies. This film explains the American electoral
process, describing such concepts as the secret ballot, and the system of
checks and balances. Institutions such as labor and other specialized groups
are just starting to get involved elections and use of electronic media such
as radio and early TV are still something of a novelty.
Not only do we see how an election is handled in small town America, but
there is fantastic footage of that time. You'll also get to see some great
early convention footage.
I'm still amazed at how much has changed since those days, and I'm not at
all sure all of the change has been for the best. If you have a liking for
times past, this movie is a wonderful view back.
