Film 1: WJR: One of a Kind (1966) COLOR Runtime 15 minutesThis is a marvelous promotional film produced by WJR Radio, Detroit, to lure advertisers. Not only did WJR dominate Detroit radio, it was a major ratings factor in Toledo, Cleveland and Toronto. At night, its signal could clearly be heard almost everywhere east of the Rockies. When this film was made in the mid-60s, Detroit was probably the most prosperous big city in the country and WJR one of the best radio stations with a stable of personalities, live music, sports (we see in this film the incomparable Ernie Harwell broadcasting a Tigers game) and a great news department. Many shots with local radio personalities in studio and people listening to the radio at home, in the ballpark at work and outdoors. Excellent, clear color film with good sequences and shots. Release Date: 1966Entered the Public Domain: 1995 Film 2: Both Sides of the Question (1970) COLOR Runtime 27 minutes Fun and detailed trip to the Detroit News. This has lots of interesting stuff in it, how the newspaper is put together, the Detroit people's reactions to it, class and race, and other neat little tidbits. This is actually a lot better study of Detroit than the film "Detroit: City On The Move", as it shows a lot more of a diverse population of Detroit. Release Date: 1970 Entered the Public Domain: 1999 Film 3: Detroit: City on the Move (1952) COLOR Runtime 18 minutesPromotional film made for the City of Detroit, an unsuccessful bidder for the Olympic Games. With views of city highways, automobile manufacturing, a diverse population, and social activities, all shot prior to the city's economic decline. Release Date: 1952 Entered the Public Domain: 1971 I claim ownership and rights to this media.
