America in Color: 2x4

Playtime

At the start of the 20th century, Americans find themselves with more time and money on their hands. Coney Island launches the country’s first amusement parks and proves that big profits can be earned from fun and entertainment. By 1953, Americans are spending $18 billion a year on leisure activities like camping, bowling, and attending sports events. This is the story of America at play, presented through digitally remastered and colorized archival footage and rarely seen home movies.
