The 1950's brought comedy, politics, the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement and Rock 'N' Roll right into our living rooms through the new medium of television. We saw Lucille Ball develop into a screen legend; "Ike" become President; Elvis Presley and James Dean capture a generation of young Americans, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speak to the conscience of America. TV gave us classic satire from Sid Caesar and Steve Allen, and a brash younf interviewer names Mike Wallace. This DVD captures the unique personality of the '50's-the decade that set the stage for the development, growth and change of the rest of the century.
