Julie... I don't know where you find these great illustrations!
1948. Only 15 years before I was born. Hard to believe that WW 2 had only been over for 18 years before I came along. Some say that post war was a more innocent time - a more naive time, and that you can see this in the TV & movies from this era.
I disagree. The people who made TV shows, and those who watched, were well acquainted with REALITY: they grew up during the Depression & lived through WW 2. So, the "innocent" TV shows & movies were EXACTLY what they needed.
p.s. I read that as recently as 1971, in Halifax, if a WW 2 veteran was driving by a confrontation between a cop & a criminal, a veteran might pull over and use their hand to hand combat skills to help out the cop!
