Synopsis

★★★★ · Get a job! · Steve Nordby · 2003-08-18
Part of a series of post-WWII job recruitment films aimed at soon-to-be ex-servicemen. Of great historical interest and reasonably accurate about television behind the scenes and in the future.
★★★★ · I was there · AWAmember · 2004-12-25
I am old enough to remember the first time I saw a TV picture, and growing up in Schenectady, I remember visiting the WRGB studio when it looked pretty much as in the film. This brings back lots of memories. Mike
★★★★ · Getting ready for TV · ERD · 2006-07-14
Excellent 1945 documentary that informed the American civilians about the television industry that was ready to expand and develop. This film was made just before War II ended in Europe. Excellent photography & narration.
