A 1965 AT+T film about the wonders of the Jet age and how the telephone is what makes it all work. Push button phones, credit card calls, tel-a-dex, reservation systems... Nice shots of the high technology of the 1960's that seem... hmmm "quaint". I would have rated this a notch higher if the film were not so extremely discolored (and dusty).
