- Starring Noel "Lois Lane" Neill as an Airline Stewardess! Also, the ever durable Lyle Talbot, who was in everything from "Ozzie & Harriet" to "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Great promo film extolling the virtues of plastics, which was still a relatively new commodity in 1952. A few Douglas DC-3 clips as well! Many thanks to the Internet Archive: archive.org/ Be sure to check my channel for the best in VINTAGE & RARE airliner videos!

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.
a hug from Chile. Every video I enjoy. Thanks for the work you do in this channel.
Thanks a lot, Luis.
In the future they will fit four "seats" in the space of one seat on that plane.
Noel Neill was adorable!
A fascinating, well-produced film; thank you for posting it. To think I was six years old when it was made!
This is a heck of a lot better than "Plan 9 from Outer Space" lol
Beautiful DC-3 👍👏
Everything featured in this film is floating around in the Pacific to this very day! ;)

Oceans polluted, choking wildlife and microfibres in our blood. Too bad the Society of the Plastics Industry didn’t take responsibility for the end of life management of their products. Oh, yeah, I forgot, that would have cut into making profits.
@annacolleen wesson etters and the leather industry is a big polluter too. It is really about the producers and the users establishing full life cycle management, and pricing accordingly. In my province all beverage containers have a refundable deposit, so they all get managed well.
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
That stewardess is Lois Lane from ‘The Adventures of Superman ‘!
Who replaced Phyllis Coates in the TV series.
They couldn't even dream of the plastics we have today!
Thank you for this piece of art
Nice video 👏🏻
She was warm for his form.
They breezed through security!
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
Keep these wonderful videos coming!!!👌
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?
So much this. I kept thinking of The Graduate as I watched. (Even tho it was made 16 years later.)
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
until now, 60 or so years later our convenient saviour has become our inconvenient destroyer.
When you enter the classroom and see a tv setup you knew you were going to watch something good (hopefully).
The other Joy was when you walked into the classroom and not only was there a tv, but a substitute teacher as well.
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
I’m trying to start a plastic museum!
Hurry
...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...
I always fly No Name airlines.
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.
They didn't discuss the plastic that prevents too many grandchildren. Ill have the train set please.
Ótimo video
Obrigado
Maravilhoso !!
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.
Now we have the great Pacific garbage patch
All that for one passenger.

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!
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.
Oh the fifties...🥰unlimited confidence in the brightest future and legitimate sex...
If they were really flying they would be feeling turbulence.
Little did they know that in the future plastic is villified for 'environmental issues'...

Could that be Burbank (Bob Hope) airport?
I think so, sure looks like it.
Why yes it is! And if you notice they take off from Burbank and their intermediate stop is Burbank again!
Good heavens! Noel Neill was certainly put together; nothing like the ladies of today. Even her voice was incredibly pleasant.
No se porqué todavía al planeta le llaman Tierra, cuando hay más plástico que tierra
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
Plastics dates back to 1869. So what is the point of this film?
Der letzte Mist !!!
This makes me glad I didn’t live in the 50’s.
