Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsAt the beginning of this documentary we are told, via the audio, that it is "New Year's Eve 1963", but the videotape footage is from New Year's Eve 1964. The movie marquee in Times Square shows "My Fair Lady" with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but the earliest release date for that film was October 21, 1964. So the videotape footage being shown is from New Year's Eve 1964 (leading into 1965), but the audio is from New Year's Eve 1963 (leading into 1964).
Featured review
Moving Two Hour Look Back at 1964
Several of the most interesting details in this PBS survey of a turning point in U.S. history are those that cut across the grain of expected stereotypes.Thus early on we see YAFFERS (members of the right wing campus group Young Americans For Freedom)dancing to the new trendy go-go style music,for the Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.And we learn that the Free Speech Movement,which had been started at the left-leaning University of California at Berkeley by students "radicalized" from their experiences that summer in Mississippi,received support from Youth for Goldwater.The show also references how TV series that fall,such as Bewitched and the Addams Family,reflected the new kinds of family being explored in the culture.The high point of the documentary is the Civil Rights organizer Dave Dennis,seen in his fiery youth and also now aged.
