I was 1 years old when this film was made. I show these to my sons and they get such a kick out of them. Little did anyone know back then that in 2007 the USA would score 59th in literacy amongst developed countries. Idealized, indeed, or what someone wanted people to think about themselves. This is why the 60s happened.
