In, (1945), Live, I, House

An outstanding little piece of vintage post- WWII unification propoganda to sell the people that they still needed to build the country together. Sinatra was his slick and smooth self carrying the effort off and very entertaining.As soon as he began singing The House I Live In I recollected Paul Robeson also singing it in something I'd seen, and wondered if perhaps there might have been variations made on this short movie for different audiences.Watching this made me a little yearnful for someone who could actually pull this country together so it isn't currently so divisive. It's such a loss to have to wait for a catastrophe or tragedy to occur to bring people together
