Television Toys: Commercials from the '50s and '60s

Television Toys: Commercials from the '50s and '60s (1993)

N/A 115 min Movie
Documentary

Toy maven Ira H. Gallen's fascinating collection of nearly 100 TV toy ads from the '50s and '60s will be as much fun for adults as the toys themselves were in their childhood. Often hilarious, often spooky, these spots offer a rich sampling of period corporate media tactics, and a pop-psych peek into the juvenile world from which an entire counterculture was to spring.
