The World of Tomorrow, 1939

This 1939 film showcases the New York World’s Fair, spotlighting pavilions like the Soviet (with Stalin and Lenin busts), American, British (royal crest plaque), Polish, and partial German displays. It features murals, telecom sculptures, and night scenes—Italian and GE fountains, risqué exhibits for magazines, and the Aquacade’s synchronized diving. Kodak’s giant prints, Westinghouse’s flag, and a rotating attendance ticker (529,641) capture a futuristic vision amid pre-war optimism, blending global culture with spectacle.
