    All this has little to do with the lost war, it's just a hard drinking sailor pub where all the Reeperbahn floatsam and jetsam comes together....whores, addicts, pimps, sailors, luckless souls...
    I am sure harbor pubs in England or America did not look any different.

    For the discerning viewer: this footage IS from the early to mid 1960s (note the fashion and cars!) ... Just like everywhere else in the world (outside muslim countries), people get drunk ... The difference maybe, that it's not necessarily considered illegal to be drunk in public (unlike in the U.S. e.g.) ... That is, as long as you do not try to drive under the influence ...

    I was born in 1969 and I live in Hamburg where the movie was taken. The red light district "Reeperbahn" is even still alive. Today it's what we call a party mile. Many of the prostitutes are gone because the sailors died out. A little piece of sin is available near the world famous police station "Davidwache".
    It's not as bad as it looks like in the movie - and we don't know how many days the cameraman needs to take his pictures. You can see the same drunken people with the same behavior today.

    The name of the painting upon which this ad is based is called "American Gothic." It shows a farmer and his wife, looking very severe and serious, standing outside the farm house. This commercial has nothing to do with the modern definition of the word Goth.

    The melody to this song was originally from "When the World's on Fire," and/or "Little Darlin' Pal of Mine," both record by the Carter Family years earlier.

    Woody Guthrie reworked these melodies and rewrote the lyrics as a response to Irving Berlin's ubiquitous "God Bless America."

    lenglasser 2 years ago

    So, Mr. Glasser, you're saying you wrote the melody to "This Land is Your Land" ...
    weirdovideos 2 years ago

    Certainly not. The melody line to the commercial was a "head arrangement" (nothing written down) concocted by myself and the Weavers, based on "You are my sunshine and "This land is your land. At the time the commercial was created, Americana was becoming very popular in advertising design. And by the way, The Weavers thought that Woody Guthrie would love the commercial.
    lenglasser 2 years ago

    Thank you, Mr. Glasser, for your correction. It's actually quite fascinating to get the real story behind this veritable piece of American Pop Art. We'd be very interested in hearing about some of your other work. Thanks, again. WV.

    I remember these old TV ads. I was a kid back then being brainwashed unknowingly. Those ads was the norm back then. I saw this ad last summer on YouTube as a pack and a half a day smoker. As of last October I am a non-smoker after almost 30 years of smoking. Partly it was because of watching these ads once again, a little wiser, being able to deprogram myself and seeking help. It worked and I thank God every day for it, especially after a recent chest xray showing my lungs as clear.

    ...30 years of smoking and clear lungs! See...it amazes me how much propaganda the government has shoved down our throats regarding the effects of cigarettes. I'm not saying they are healthy, but the life threatening claims are blown way out of proportion. Sorry for the antis, but that it is true.

    My father always told me about Sam Rodia and when I came for the 1st time to the US in 2000 visiting a friend in LA my goal was to visit the towers. In the plane I read in my guide that it was an ok destination, but only during the day. Being there I was moved by the friendliness of the people in the community centre next door. Never ever before in a western country I was so embarassed by my own 'wealth' in contrast to the poverty over there. Really nice people over there. Marcus,The Netherlands
    EyeTube3 1 year ago

    This was actually shot in '52 or '53 - someone should call William Hale! The music sounds like the theme from the Twilight Zone because they ripped it off from here, only transposed to the minor key, while the composer, Thomas Cutkomp, went uncredited (he is here, though). The reason the announcer pronounces the name "Rodilla" is because when the director interviewed the hispanic neighbors, they said "Rodia" but he thought they were saying "Rodilla". Call for tour times! And make a donation!

    Unfortunately, the house depicted near The Towers in this film burned down decades ago. Restoration of The Towers was completed about four or five years ago. You can take a guided tour inside the walls of The Towers for a few dollars.

    The Watts Towers were one of the few things I wanted to see when I moved to L.A. 13 years ago. I've visited them about four or five times since. They are something to behold and they are always enchanting. Always.

    That's because it is - it was written by Thomas Cutkomp who was a fellow student at USC, I believe, when William Hale shot it as a graduate project, and the Twilight Zone people simply ripped it off, by changing it to a minor key. Poor uncredited Thomas. Shame on you, Rod Serling.

    i remember the 3 stooges looked wizend and tired. no sound effects to their routine. got a chuck McCaan autograph. years later Disneyland looked miniscule in comparison. on liberty we drove back next week down the road from it, we thought we'd visit Knott's Berry Farm their local competition. recognising marines they wouldn't let us in. we were so indignant we discussed payback.

    The big mistake was that Freedomland was opened at the same time as the 1954-65 World's Fair.

    It was designed by the same man that basically did Disneyland.

    It was a great idea but it shouldn't have opened until after the Fair was closed.

    jspinosa50 1 year ago

    My brother Bill and I were there on opening day. The place was really awesome. It was built on swamp land, ran into bigtime financial trouble. Co-op City was built on the site years later. Celebrities performing at Freedomland would stay at the nearby Town and Country Motel. A bunch of us kids from the Bronx got to meet some of the celebs at the motel (Chubby Checker, Bobby Vinton, The Three Stooges, etc.) Too bad Freedomland didn't work out..educational, but lots of fun for kids.

    Thank you for sharing this. This was SO MUCH better than anything Disney did in my opinion. There was actually interaction and participation. I went as a 7 year old and begged to go back........but we ended up going to the World's Fair in 1964 and 1965 (which in my opinion was better than Disney also).

    The person who created this was a maverick, too bad they couldn't economically support this grand idea. Reportedly Disney was going to create a Frontierland, but it never happened.

It's kinda of like Bush Gardens or Ebcot but just American history. Whoever made that place definately was thinking outside the box. I could see it not generating engough profit though. That's the type of place people would only go once. They might have did better by mixing in some rolercoasters and shit. I would have liked to check that place out.

    @carolstothart

    yes it's because Freedomland was basically a rip off of the Disneyland concept., down to details.

    It is too bad though that it did not survive.

    I can not believe that this was Co-Op City. We had all kind of rumors going around as to why their was so much open land. Before Bay Plaza their was just grass, it was a huge empty lot. I thought before Co-Op it was a land fill. Go figure.

    there is this man junior brown that plays a guitar just like joe. this is really great music. Joe was a great talent.
    bushwacker2008 6 months ago 5

    Junior Brown plays a GitSteel. It's a tele style guitar and a lap steel combo that sits on a stand. The one in this video is a guitar and either a tenor guitar or a mandolin. It looks like a tenor guitar since I can only see 6 tuning pegs...hard to tell as the video is kinda' grainy.

    crocks2871 1 year ago

    Joe wrote this after a trip to Bakersfield to see a young Buck Owens at the Blackboard. Bonnie Owens was barmaiding and got up to sing a song or two while Joe was there. One the way back to LA he wrote this song in the car. At least that's the story he told about it. It's the way the honky tonks used to be. One of the great classics of county music.

    Is that a Kent guitar? Neck pickup on the top guitar, how it's turned like it and it also us rectangle shape and Kent is the only brand I know who made a pickup like that.
    4321Blastoff 1 year ago

    Speial made guitar by Semie Mosley called Mosrite. The pickups are Carvin AP6s, which haven't been made since about 1977. However, Bob Shade of Hallmark Guitars has done a great job of reproducing the original look and tone..as well as a single neck version of this guitar, trimmings and all. This is about the best sounding guitar I've ever heard.

    People! obviously this was an old film probably dated by in early 70's from the look of it. You're right that in today price is $100 per pound. I visited Japan awhile back, first I thought it would be ridiculous to paid for beef that expensive. But when I visit the Kobe farm and see the work they put into it for each cow I begin to appreciate and understand why is so expensive. I can't afford to eat it often, but I tried it and if you had a chance you should, least once in your life time....:)

    These cows are born and immediately get 8 hour massages, all the food and beer thet want, and roam freely for a year or so then they get killed tenderly (as not to toughen the beef) and become a wealthy patrons dinner.
