More Details
LEGEND OF KIP VAN WINKLE (1951, b&w) offers a twist on the famous legend as Kip Van Winkle, Rip’s descendant, does some window shopping in his 1939 Hudson Valley town. A lawn mower costs $9.95. A can of paint, $ 2.35. A new shirt $1.85. Content with life, Kip lies down in a field and falls asleep - for 12 years! Waking in 1951 with a big long beard, Kip strolls through that same town appalled at how prices have soared. A lawn mower now costs $15.95! A can of paint, $4.25! A new shirt $4.50! "Your money is worth only one half of what it was twelve years ago," scolds DON AMECHE. "You have been robbed of 50 cents of each of your dollars." Made for the National Association of Manufacturers, this one’s an Americana classic!
