TUCSON PROMO VIDEO -1950S

If you've been following the recent flap over the $820,00 video to promote Tucson's history, let's take a look back in time...about a half-century ago.

Thanks to a listener, I've discovered another video promoting Tucson a LONG time ago. I have no idea how much this old promo video (or should I say "film?") cost to make back then, but it makes me harken back to the days in grade school watching those old movie projectors, complete with the scratchy film and jumpy audio. As the Tucson 12 website states in the intro to the video:

This classic film from Tucson 12's archive is a nostalgic look back to a time when everyone knew their neighbor...and the biggest crime was jaywalking.

I guess that's enough setup for the video, which you can watch here. Come back and leave a comment after you've seen it.

If this film was about Willcox AZ, instead of Tucson, maybe Rex Allen could have done the narration - straight out of the Wonderful World of Disney :-)
