What happened when the future America imagined in 1939 finally arrived?
In 1939, the New York World’s Fair promised a dazzling World of Tomorrow. Sixteen years later, America had emerged from World War II as an economic and cultural superpower — and its movies, music, automobiles, fashions and dreams were traveling around the globe.
In this episode of RetroStory — A Passport to the Past, we travel from the World’s Fair and postwar reconstruction to Paris jazz clubs, Hollywood, suburban America, the birth of the teenager, 45-rpm records and the explosion of rock ‘n’ roll.
Along the way: Christian Dior and the New Look, film noir, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elvis Presley, the rise of consumer culture — and the darker realities behind the bright advertisements of 1955: the Cold War, segregation and a rapidly changing world.
