this was shown in a canton,ohio theater along with the original disney film The Parent Trap. canton was home of republic steel. everyone in audience got a soundtrack album of the new world of stainless steel. it was an exciting thing for a kid. had not seen it since. wish i had the record

Very enjoyable film about how Stainless steel has come into our lives and, well, TAKEN OVER lol. Film shows a brief history, how it's made, but mostly gets hung up on it's uses. In things! Outside of things! Cold Things! Hot Things! And so on and so on... There's some groovy things in this.. That metal display that one guy looks at at about 1/2 way in is shot really cool, and man, that elevator shot LOL Highly reccomended!
