Renting Movies In 1964
🕑 Added 2024-04-06 01:43:18 +0000 UTCIn the post WWII years there was a huge industry of providing 16mm films for events, businesses, and organizations all over the US and this is how they did it... Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this. I keep meaning to ask if there’s any copyright issues around the films you’ve transferred?

There's something strangely satisfying about looking through old catalogues, regardless of the subject matter. But this was especially interesting.

Fascinating stuff. I wonder how long the reels lasted if they were being passed from person to person. Got to go look-up Invasion of the Body Snatchers now. Thanks Fran!

Brings back fond memories of watching these sorts of films in school back in the 60s & 70s. I get the sense that the "Israel" films were probably geared toward Christian audiences, maybe to show stories from the old testament that they would be more familiar with. Curiously, the list of states where these films may be shown doesn't necessarily appear to represent any particularly common religious or political aspects. They are, however, all states that geographically surround Chicago.

Very interesting! Love that 60’s clip art!
