Here are the contents of each of the films in the Greyhound bus film collection:
America for Me (1950s)
Take a Greyhound bus tour of America. This story follows two young women as they tour the countryside, see lots of great sites, meet and have a good time with their fellow passengers and in one case, even falling in love. This film has it all, great tourist attractions of the 50's, incredible scenery, fun people and even singing as all the passengers get into the contagious happy mood of a Greyhound bus tour in the 50's. Production Company: Fairbanks (Jerry) Productions |
The Bus Driver (1946)
This historic film folls the adventures of a father and son as they travel by bus from New York to Pittsburgh. What is interesting in this film is the lack of superhighways that are so common now. So a trip that we think of as minor is actually quite an adventure back in the 40s as you will see when watching this interesting film. Producer: Encyclopaedia Britannica Films |
Freedom Highway (1956)
This fascinating Greyhound bus tour interweaves fact and fancy as the passengers travel across the United States seeing historic sites. In addition to seeing the sites, movie viewers are also regaled with recreations of the events surrounding these historic sites so you get to see the site as it was in the 50's and as it was believed to be while the site was an active, thriving entity - in other words a view of history in the making. The intertwining of the current and the past is very well done, making this a truly enjoyable history lesson as well as a great film about Greyhound buses. Producer: Fairbanks (Jerry) Productions |
