These movies came out in 1956 and 57 so I was Mutual age--12+-- when I first saw them. It was a big deal for us, a novelty, to have movies specifically on current Church topics. They were reel-to-reel films and we watched them in the cultural hall at MIA.
Even as a young girl my attitude was a little jaundiced about these movies, but I still believed their messages. In fact, when Roger asked me out in HS, even though he was an OK guy, I wouldn't go out with him because he wasn't a member of the Church.
Part of the interest in watching them now is seeing the old, familiar clothes, the girls in pony tails and dresses or turned-up collars and 50's hair styles.
