that mother is a piece of work , can we all say therapy
The mom needs to join a bowling league or something....
Yes, she's not done dealing with her own issues. Look at how she personalized almost everything!
Mother is a real problem!
I'd rather have a mother that occasionally got drunk and beat me than Marion.
Peter, the guy with glasses who don't give a shit about social life, is the coolest
I think if the guy with the glasses knows how to roll with the crowd when he needs to, maybe it's okay to be alone. No one should be desperate, nor afraid of others either
"Mom says you can only bring 14 friends."
"I have 17."
"You'll have to take off four, that's all."
I guess math wasn't very important in the 50's.
Four, if Susie wants to invite her old friend!
She'd need to take off four to make room for Marion. Taking off three keeps it full at 14.
Snobby older sister..mind your own business😠
she said you'll have to take 4 off, and you cant invite marion...
U do not understand ? U have to look a step ahead ? If she picks 4 and she just has to have that "1" MORE "" U can be the good guy and GIVE IN ???........ Lol
I was treated the same way. Being rejected by peers because of my lack of communication skills. It is very depressing to be treated that way when certain people reject you and try to kick you off their conversations when you want to fit in.
I was Marion and I still carry the emotional scars of complete social rejection by my brothers and their friends today fifty years later. I never learned how to make and keep friends and estranged from my siblings.
I feel sorry for the mother - she's clearly painfully shy herself.
And that was the day Marion started "parking in cars with boys"... becomes an actress... marries three times... writes a book
I never thought of it that way how parents can also be to blame for a child's social isolation, not so much in creed, color, or beliefs, but more in just in how they allow their children to interact with their peers. You don't have to let your children walk over you, but you can help them to make friends and show other people a good time.
And Peter McGivens went on to be a multi-billionaire from inventing a brand of computers.
My mother taught me our fundamentalist Christian beliefs made us better than other people and I shouldn't associate with non-believers unless I was actively "witnessing" to them. Then she wondered why I didn't have friends! My brother says "Well that explains everything, right up to fifth grade." At some point, kids need to take control of their own social lives.
Bonnie Kuhn Exactly! What the girl should do, is take the initiative and have her OWN party!
This mom was my mom. She wasn't shy but she didn't ever let me have a party. Not once have I ever had any kind of social event in my house ever. I'm in my late 20's and I've only ever been to get together's at friends places. I'm alright with it really, but I plan on one day at last having wonderful fun parties myself. I recently lost my mother New Years Day 2015, so even though we both did want to have parties she was to ashamed of my Grandmothers old fashioned house to ever have one. Now that she's gone I'm going to make our dreams of a party come true and I know it'll make her smile.
inkey2 No I'm talking about and old person's house, the kind that have no actual taste and hasn't had a remodel since the late 70's when it was built.
So, she died at the beginning of 2015, not at the end.
For a second, I was concerned you were a time traveler, and not aware your mother hadn't actually died yet.
GEhotpants101 Yes the start.
"It takes time and energy and money and a fancy house to have a party for teens! Until your father can make a better living, none of us can fit in"................said with the father right there!
High School is HELL! no matter what year it is, both1957 and 2014.
D Hubbard True that! Your world is microscopically small.
I was the voluntary isolate in my high school...and PROUD of it!
Omg so was I!
But now I don't care anymore because I have better things to do in life as an adult and I don't need to fit in with the crowd like as if I'm 13-16 years old. You grow out of it because you become comfortable with who you are.
Adolescence is not for the faint of heart
They used to play these educational videos during junior high and high school way back when. It was the best part of school, next to lunch, substitute teachers, smoking in the bathroom and phys ed. Especially in an afternoon class. I remember walking into class, seeing that projector and the white screen setup in front of the chalkboard, and i was like yeaaahhhhhh nap time. Wake up, Go home. Like a half day.
Gee, I enjoyed watching them.
The rattling of the projector would make me instantly sleepy. If they didn't make kids be at school at like 10 after 7 it would have helped.
good one, John
Good point! I went to high school from 7:10 am to 1:10 pm. The worst part of having to go that early was.... Three days a week there was something called, "block days!" Where you had four 90 minute classes. Great for art class. Not so great when PE is your first class of the day. Just utter hell! High school sucks! But I am glad I had it in the 90s and not now.
I feel like her mother is so negative about everything. And so sensitive, assuming that her husband was insinuating that he didn't want their daughter to turn out like her. I think she needs some serious soul searching. Though she has a point- who you are in highschool is not necessarily who you will become in real life.
This has the kindest most caring dad of all time.
I thought so too. A good loving father who wanted his daughter to be happy.
"This boy's name is Rod Hunter"... I wonder how much he got teased in high school. lol!
That wouldn't have been known as funny back then. Maybe the 80's or 90's. But, I knew several "Rods" name only mind you, and I never thought about it with sexual overtones
Not as much as Rod Holder.
"Evelyn, I didn't mean to upset you with this. Have some more coffee." LOL!
No matter how many participation trophies you throw at kids, no matter how many valentines you are FORCED to write to EVERYBODY in class, you CANNOT shield your kids from rejection and exclusion in life.
There will always be more losers than winners, and you will always get rejected more than accepted. Deal with it, and move forward.
That's what builds a granite character!
Were there no high schools back than? It looks to me like that both were together which about I read is correct that middle school today is what failing. Which only up the freshman year in high school a complete disaster.
Things you will never hear nowadays: "Marian would be better off if she were in a gang"
"cleeks"
That mother is so concerned with herself. It's all about her. It's amazing how family of origin issues continue to affect everyone.
Good film.
I was wondering how they got my mother in law to play her. My wife grew up just about as neurotic. We didn't even have kids but she wanted this big, fancy, 4,000 sq ft, 5 bedroom house. My take on it was, while I did n't really want the house, at least it would be great for entertaining, and having friends and family be able to visit comfortably.
We lived there for 7 years and had one party (not counting family holidays) and my brother and his family stayed over one time. But they never cam back - every time they came into town for an MSU football game or something, they stayed at a hotel - saying it was more convenient. But after my divorce, he told me that she was just so nervous about everything being perfect, it was impossible to relax.
Just wow. shows how we can be so self consumed that we hurt people we love without noticing. Wonder if she really could love her family because she was like a scared insecure teenager herself.
I'm with Dad....let's party on!
Notice also that Marion's parents both have very blond hair and she is a brunette? Could it be that the Milk man had something to do with that?
No, remember family genes. People have children with different hair and skin color because of DNA, too.
maconsumner Maury Povich wasn't a thing back then!
Dad really noticed Susy turning into a lovely young woman...I bet.
He was a concerned father and wanted the best for his daughter and for her to be happy and well adjusted.
That's the mark of a good father. We could use more like him. A LOT MORE.
"The vegetables are done. Will you mash them up for me?" I'm wondering how done was "done".
I'm not a fan of pulverised food.
Mashed vegetables? Yuch. Baby food. Unless they were potatoes; that did look like a potato Mom was peeling. Other than potatoes, I prefer my veggies al dente.
"The voluntary isolate." So, there's a name for this feeling . . .
Eat more pie so you don't get sickly.
i meant "for a long time, now". it's nice to watch how they've talked and treated eachother, with respect and using maybe corny, but still very kind language
This makes me feel so sad...
Is the dad missing a tooth?
What a wise video! Surprisingly, I learned a lot from this video. Too bad films like this aren't shown on TV nowadays.
My mom always let me have whom ever over. She never cared about appearances. On rainy days the whole neighborhood would end up at our house.
If I were Marion I’d have just called the girl myself first when it got too late, then if she seemed upset that I’d called I’d have told her, oh I’m sorry I thought you had said for me to call you, misunderstood. But anyhow since I have you on the phone, what was this about?
Then she could’ve told her she already has too many guests and can’t invite her Etc but meant to, and could have talked and resolved it and Marion would at least not feel so bad then. Plus they are old friends so Calling isn’t really that odd
Maybe it wasn’t “ done” then but it’s not like she’d have to ask if she’s invited, the other girl would bring it up
I'm touched that the popular kids allowed the poor kid to hang out with him, solely because he was so over-the-top awesome that it canceled out his obvious socioeconomic failings. Ahem.
Parents like that are the reason why kids do things behind their parents back. Is it not their home too? How can your kids feel at home if they can't even have their friends over or socialize in their own home? Constantly going to their friends house and not inviting their friends over too? What in the world? I can't really with parents who don't know what the meaning of HOME is. Just tell her to clean up after her friends leave the house - I'm sure she'd happily do it to have her friends over. For goodness sake. -_-
You're very welcome! I'm glad they still hold up today! But, you watch them for a longer time than what? Other people's videos?
Suzy Somers doesn't enjoy the same popularity because she's close rivals with her sister and insecure about it? That was me to a T!! Except I wasn't particularly popular- really more of a Marion in terms of personality. This is really nuanced and insightful, it's making me feel insecure all over again.
That's NOT what the kids would be putting on the juke-box.
+Freddy Lubin Right, it's what the producers would have listened to. In 1957, kids were into Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis...
I remember watching TV shows in the late 60s, showing what (as if?) the make-believe hippies were listening to. It was, and still is, hillarious.
In 1957 the Everly Brothers Wake Up Little Susie was a number 1 hit. Kind of fitting for this film. Maybe that’s why they named the girl Susie.
That mother is certainly not June Cleaver. She certainly would not gang up on Wally Cleaver and give him the riot act on who he'd invite to his
parties, especially Eddie Haskell.
"Things get complicated
When you get past 18
But the class of '57 had its dream"--The Statler Brothers
This describes my life perfectly omg
I'd rather hang out with Peter the beatnik.
Congratulations on your 500th! It was a classic!
where are the MST3K robots?
she aint no June Cleaver....more like Baby Jane
marian has to join that gang. just sounds a little odd from present times
Wow, people really haven't changed that much
bunch of teenagers with one of those noisy record players lol
The dad isnt he uncle bill??
Mash the vegetables?? Ewwwww!
I'm not a fan of pulverised food.
good ole days, when parents wanted kids to be in the gang so desperately.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Peter McGibbon FTW in this one, I think.
Childhood, thou art this video.
I already hate Rod Hunter, and they just call Susie Summers the mental case. That fringe case is for me, I hope I can get invited,
It certainly is good to be accepted.
This is such great stuff you post.
Well, keep in mind that this is just acting and this time period definitely had its share of foul language, but it's still quite interesting to see how much more clean everything was portrayed then.
Rod Hunter eh? Bet he never got picked on...
For those watching to see if she gets invited, no, she doesn't get called.
GR33NGIANTZ Maybe Susie asked her in school the next day.
+EmilyA1984 It's fiction. WYSIWYG.
Bonnie Kuhn Actually, one thing I learned from theatre is, in order to understand a character, you have to think about what might have happened before the story started, and what's going to happen after it ends.
+EmilyA1984 That works for active participation in presenting some kinds of stories, but this one clearly does not have a happy ending ("Marian was rejected today"); to suggest she got invited the next day is to miss the point of the story. But I'll play anyway: Susy talked her folks into allowing 18 guests instead of 14 but she couldn't get through to Marian because her little brother wouldn't stay off the phone long enough (no call waiting in those days). She invited her the next day, but Marian, having given some thought to what rude little turds those other kids were, declined the invitation and struck up a meaningful friendship with Peter. Eventually she reconnected with Susy and they all went into business together (party-planning, of course), but Marian's little brother still wouldn't get off the phone, and the business failed. So then.................
I was sure she was going to develop super powers like Carrie and kill everyone. :/
The opening song is wonderful.
What will all those fancy rich girls think of our abject poverty!
My mother is this woman. Can't have friends over because she's thinking that the guys will go home and tell their mothers how terrible a housekeeper my mother is. Honestly I became a Peter with glasses because of my mother.
By then there were enough clubs and activities to occupy myself--and the people in them didn't rate you on "social acceptability"
I’m a peter I would not care for a party
And it was NOT my parents' responsibility to turn me into a social climber...
Well, if your won’t let you hang out with your friends at home or their houses than I felt like Marion’s mom had roll to play. The mom even turned down the dad’s leadership standards.
I wanna be accepted by "THE CLEEK" boo hoo hoo.
Clique. Too often Americans pronounce it as "click," but the 'i' actually carries an 'ee' sound.
CA Catr Damn, just like the word sugar. There is no "h" sound.
i wish there was more of this behaviour today ;)
what happened to the comment i saw a while ago? smth about parental guidence? was there smth wrong with his account?
This is a nice little actress.
strange, anyway, thanks for all the videos, i watch them for a longer time and they're really entertaining and educational
Is that a young Peter Jennings at 1:21?
Yes.
What?!?! No party?!? This is so sad😢😢
What her mother meant was:
I suppose I could arrange a little party for her,but I'll need your wallet.
"Mother" sounds like my grandmother. Ugh
"You better wash up now, I'm about to serve dinner" ... Surely you wash the things AFTER you have eaten dinner?!
@ghostpanic ,,that statement usually meant to go wash your face ,hands and any other dirt you might have on you .
is this work in the public domain now?
And while Americans obsessed over stuff like this the Russians launched Sputnik.
That was the exact cultural condemnation at the time...
A new PSA from the 1950s seems to pop up every week on this site!
I guess you haven't read the schedule on my channel page. I hope to get back to posting videos soon.
I really loved the dad!
So, what I got from that is be Peter.
*or she
It would seem not a whole lots has changed in 55 years.
In today's world ,she still would not have been asked...90% of the time!
Adjusted for inflation what is the value of dime in 2014?
I checked and it's $0.85
He was being sarcastic.
So Marian didn't go to the party?? =(
"Marion", heck-- that's Peggy Olson!
I didn't remove it. I guess he removed it himself.
My parents had nice shit. I have nice shit. No parties. Go to your friends house and trash it but don't get caught!
these videos are always how to judge others and yourself cause you aren't crap lol
Wow, this is dark!
17:29 the moral lesson!
Be Proud
mariann need the 5 Gs . good god get a grip girl.
