This amusingly overoptimistic film, Opportunities Unlimited, paints America's prosperity of the 50's as the pinnacle of society. Most interestingly, the rise o the middle class and the baby boom is thoroughly discussed in the rosiest of references. Statistics, evidence, and platitudes are all employed to make the case that America will continue to spend spend spend - to the salvation of all! Entitlement programs for the poor were not seen as a drain on society but a symbol of America's success. The film uses a mixture of animation (generally for statistics and other abstractions), as well as wonderful shots of mid twentieth century America. Overall, Opportunities Unlimited fascinatingly captures the essence of the post World War II United States.
