LIVE DRAMA (May, 1962)

LIVE DRAMA is all you’ll see on this big screen. This is a new plastic house being built in Leningrad. Hot air fans heat it.

    It looks like they copied the idea from tomorrowland in Disneyland.

    Great Website!

    I would not visit Disneyland until 1970, so I never saw the house.

    Still I can see where the inspiration for one of the best lines in the movie, The Graduate:

    “I have one word– Plastics!”
