Editorial Reviews

Twenty-Four Hours of Progress explores in rich detail the oil industry in American and all its implications for society and manufacturing. The film is made even more enriching by its date of creation: 1950. This gives a startling perspective on oil and petroleum production and what it meant to America during a golden age of prosperity. Touring through dazzlingly complex machinery and factory equipment, the film delves into the lives of the technicians and scientists who were continually pushing the limits of production. In the end, Twenty-Four Hours of Progress caps off with a brilliant montage of gorgeous vintage lamps, street lights, billboards, night clubs, and many other electrically illuminated displays.
