Produced for Chevrolet by the Jam Handy Organization, this film "American Maker" features the notable voice over actor Marvin Miller. Similar to the structure of other Jam Handy films, this snap shot of midcentury America wanders through various portions of industry before leaning into car production. It includes dramatic reenactments of Eli Whitney’s innovations in mass production. It is a heavily patriotic film that focuses on American consumerism as viewed through the Chevrolet lens. It opens up with a young boy building sand castles along the shore line (1:11). This is used as an example of the mind's early desire to build and construct. A sailboat is erected in a clear glass bottle (1:26). A crane carts a large wooden box in a shipping yard (2:10). A space shuttle shoots up (2:20). Kids build their own NASA rockets in the yard (2:32). A housewife tidies her kitchen (3:08). She pinches a pie crust together (3:37). The narrator explains the American consumer mindset (4:18). A seamstress hens a dress (4:34). A craftsman paints a tea kettle (4:52). Female workers on an assembly line build rotary telephones (5:03). Dolls float down an assembly line (5:55). Brass horns are snapped together (6:47). Two car manufacturers look at scale models of new vehicle ideas (8:13). A beach bathing couple watch a battery powered transistorized television (8:34). Early American industry is looked to (9:18). A woman operates the spinning wheel and loom (9:24). Eli Whitney's innovations in mass production began with a contract from congress to produce 10,000 muskets (10:52). He promoted the idea of interchangeability (13:22); a basic principal of mass production. Modern industry workers appear in montage, operating modern machinery (15:21). This leads into the automotive industry. Welders seam together a car frame (16:01). Assembly line workers pieces together parts for an engine (16:12). The expansion of Eli Whitney’s ideas are noted; Marvin explains (16:30) parts are sourced from various companies. A 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala appears nearly complete (17:03). Candy coated steering wheels hang on a wall (17:14). An engine is set onto a frame (17:29). A Chassis is drawn down the line (17:43). A red Chevrolet Impala body (17:56) moves down the line in a nearby body plant. The body is lowered into the frame as viewed from above (18:10). Fresh layers of paint are steamed on (18:43). Headlights are stuck in (18:58). Marvin speaks on the mindset of the industry worker (19:28). A completed soft top candy apple red Impala drives up (20:11). A honey bee yellow 1961 Chevrolet truck model C-5309 Stake Truck Model (20:43) gets a hood check. Innovations in car manufacturing (21:07) are looked to. Inspection stickers are stuck on (21:34). The dealer (21:41) inspects the Chevrolet Biscayne Fleet Master (21:49). A clock shop (22:07) and a television set (22:11) dealer too inspect new product. The American consumer is now looked to; including the American home and their expectations (23:10). Coffee is poured out in a prim garden (23:42). The film wraps up on the sandy shoreline (24:28) and the credit screen (24:45).
This short film was such a success that it actually showed as a short before Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" in the Detroit area.

This WAS America the Great! Thanks for this great reflection!
This was a marketing tool absolutely make believe, cars that whore out after a few years, woman's jobs that paid absolutely nothing, and look not one minority to be seen anywhere, if you had a heart condition it was a death sentence, oh yeah the good old days, WTH are you smoking if you really believe this BS
Mdlclass Worker Fact 1) any one of these vehicles especially the Chevy would reach 150000 miles with proper maintenance. Women’s jobs were paid on par with their level of production. A male realtor who sold a 80k house received the exact $ that a female realtor would. Female law enforcement/ fire EMS received position based pay. They didn’t care if it was male or female. Heart conditions, the FDA mislead many not as much as they do now. Techniques in COPD and “heart disease “ care have progressed significantly since those days..
Fact 3) you didn’t live in this time and you have an inherent despise for America’s success. It would be a good time for you to abandon your leftist ideology and push yourself into a paradigm of self worth and achievement on a personal bases. Now more than evah, Love America or leave it. For your own personal good.

Peri... I keep saying it, because it's true.. these are FABULOUS!!! Please keep 'em coming, just like this one, thanks!!!
2020: chinese maker, american buyer...
Do to greedy corporations and the stock holders, and freaking idiot politicians ruined our country!
America has evolved far beyond the old fashioned ideas of physical labor in the 21st century. We need only print shit loads of worthless paper to purchase those 'slave' labor goodies from China. Until That Day, coming sooner than the sheeple can possibly imagine!
Chinese sh*t, poor quality, rather buy an American made product in a second hand store.
The decay of civilization, yes.
This was produced when America was a great country. The key would is "was."
It still is, why would millions of immigrants seek to gain entry into a non prosperous country? To live a good free life, free from tyranny, free from living a hand to mouth existence. The pride of gainful and fulfilling employment as we near the celebration of Labor Day and the dignity of work. The country is the USA, NOT fu*king china nor Russia 😂
They did accurately predict the Trimline® phone and flat-screen televisions.
of course they did. technology available to the general public is 20-30 years behind what actually exists.
Does this country really exist ? If yes, tell me where it is , cause i want to move there.
It was the greatest time to be an American citizen!
Look how trim almost everybody is. A couple of the ADs while this was playing were for foreign cars, adding insult to injury. I remember when "Made in USA" was all my Dad would buy. I try, but its almost impossible today. Although nobody will listen to me, my thoughts are, if we would not allow foreign products into this country unless the manufacturer met the same clean air, water and waste requirements forced on US manufacturers, then they would not be so cheap.
I've seen this film in some form or the other, as I'm 66 and it was corny the first time. CZcams of of my youth.
Made in 1960. We have had TVs that "hang on the wall like a picture" since about 2004, 44 years later, and they are working on self driving cars, 60 years later.The TV at the beach, I dont know why you would go to the beach and watch TV, but I did have a battery powered set in the 80s. Of course for maybe the last 10 we all have a TV in our pocket......but its all made in other countries....
Good one.
@ 4:29 American family... white, praying, no mobile device distraction during a set down @ homemade dinner @ home... almost a thing of the past
Nice
Yes Johnny, that's right, America used to make things. It was a swell time.
@@enelmench3098 yes fine life we have now, fat asses watching shit on TV and worthless millennials living in the basement playing video and watching porn. Yeah, those millennials have calluses on hand from jacking it😂🇨🇳😀🤣🇷🇺
The bridge that I seen (2:12) is the old 'Sunshine Skyway Bridge' in Florida. You may search it up on Google if you wish. :)
Now we let convicted criminals free and arrest the people going to the barber and gym.
Make excons cut hair . recycle
@@MitzvosGolem1 The last thing I want is an ex-con with a sharp object, near me.
Let them be used as medical trials for Covid-19 cures.
We only arrest them if they are minorities, we allow the biggest criminal to live in the white house now
@@mdlclassworker3384 .....and we allow hundreds of thousands of them to come into our country from our southern border!
DO you have the widescreen version?
Back when America was great!
@@enelmench3098
Do you have no American grandparents?
@@enelmench3098
If you do, and you don't realize the truth of my comment, they couldn't have accounted for much.
@@enelmench3098 Did your wonderful grandparents ever tell you how much better things were back then?
It was the greatest time to be an American citizen!
The model year of the cars shown in this video is 1960. How America has changed in 60 years.
zzzzzz...
Those were 1959 Chevies that were being built on the assembly line.
They forgot steam power between the era of muscle & water power and electric power. Steam power built this country between 1790 and 1890.
Animal power too. My father-in-law farmed with horses until 1945. NW Ohio in case you ask.

Great film about Chinese (oops, USA) industry circa 1960.

What was that device at 8:01-8:04?
A microwave as imagined by the 3 martini lunch.

Ahhh the good ol' days when women were in the kitchen and men were in the shed.
Hmmm. Not sure that the present day is an improvement...boys are girls, girls are boys, and everything is post-ironic.
@@enelmench3098 Ahhh did you comment on the correct thread Homes?
@@enelmench3098 Well what in the world do you mean then with such a general question like that Homes?
@@enelmench3098 Why would you ask such a strange question of a stranger? Is it because you've accomplished very little in your own life Homey?
Cherry pie? Pffft. Fresh baked road apple pie is just so much better!
Made only with the freshest and juiciest of road apples, picked only at the most prime peak of perfection.
Just like momma used to make!
Democrats gave it all away! Thanks Bill Clinton😞
