★★★ · Kid Life in 1952 · JSBejma · 2012-09-29
A just for fun film about a girl, her friend, her dolls and her bratty brother who defaced her doll and when she showed her mother they all took off after the brother. Shows a typical episode of kids at play in mid 20th century. It is a silent film with a narrator telling the story like she's reading a primer. Looks like it was filmed somewhere around LA.
