History Channel - David Halberstam's The Fifties (1997) - Pt. 7 of 7

It was America's coming-out party. A decade-long celebration of growth and power, fueled by the victory in WWII. Based on Pulitzer Prize winner David Halberstam's bestselling book, this lively series casts a nostalgic eye back on the years of Ozzie and Harriet and the Hula Hoop, years which nonetheless paved the way for the turmoil of the decades to follow. From Sputnik to Elvis, bobby-socks to the Kinsey Report, DAVID HALBERSTAM'S THE FIFTIES is a breathtaking collage of the people, music, memories, fads and issues that sent the first Baby Boomers on their way. Countless interviews, clips from landmark TV shows and movies and specially-produced music videos set to original '50's hits capture the intense tapestry of optimism and fear, repression and discovery that was THE FIFTIES.


Episode 7 - The Road To The Sixties

In the final episode, Americans are on the move as car sales and road construction soar, but the nation's self-confidence is shaken when the Soviet Union launches Sputnik and Fidel Castro rises to power in Cuba. A few setbacks can't keep us down for long, though, as fast cars, fast food and the space race hurtle the country into a new era and leave behind a time known simply as, "The Fifties". Hope you all enjoy the series!
