A Family Meal
Classic educational footage shows the ideal postwar American family eating dinner. Father comes home, hang up coat. Father, teen son and little boy chat on sofa. Daughter makes table look pretty. In dining room extensive footage shows family behaving courteously. Father bows head to say grace, serves food to women first. Older brother cuts meat for younger sibling. Splendid kitsch.
