Fun That Builds Good Health is a frightening instructional video from the 1950's that earnestly introduces strict notions of social and personal conformity in American society. Ostensibly the film is about children playing, and what kind of play will be most healthy for them. But when little Jimmy Baxter doesn't enjoy football, why, his father will just have to keep working on it until he does! This film captures the essence of fifties' homogenized America perfectly. A great historical video.
