The Decade You Were Born: 1940s

2013 • 92 minutes

About this movie

If you were born in the '40s, your decade began with the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to an unprecedented third term ... the country was isolationist ... American workers got the forty hour work week ... Walt Disney Studios released Fantasia and Pinocchio ... Nylon stockings went on sale for the first time ... and Glen Miller wrote the decade's signature song, In the Mood.

Ratings and reviews

Most enjoyable and informative. Watch it, even if you weren't born in the 40's.
