A Date For Dinner (1960)

[@MrMenefrego1]

This is so freaky! I remember watching this film in school back in the '60s. The only reason I remember it is because I fell asleep when it was being shown, and the teacher made me stay after school and not only watch it again, I had to do an essay on the darn thing! I've got it memorized, even all these years later!

@@annainspain5176 , you are so mistaken. This was life for many American's and there was nothing in this film which was not easy to do. I suppose if YOU are intimidated by the film; the etiquette, the manners, the courtesies and respect which society considered a standard, then I understand why you might criticize the contents.

No, back then wages were not only reasonable but young ppl were taught how to save money. They were also set up for success by not making them pay a bunch of unnecessary expenses like young people have to now. Simpler times. I wish it was still like this.

[@dylanakent]

You could pay rent, expenses and save on a clerk job before the 1980s.

[@thystaff742]

@dylanakent You can thank the feminist movement for ending that ability. They told women that being a wage slave was the best thing for them. Women entered the workforce in mass in the 1980s. That resulted in major inflation, real-estate went up 300% in value, and food prices nearly doubled. Thus creating a situation where it forced women to work instead of being an option for them.

I love this. I wish some of these manners were still used today. Such a more civilized time. I didn't know about the bread thing. I thought it was okay to cut it and butter it that way. Now I know and won't make that mistake again.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

You've called three times, and Linda hasn't been home? Take the hint, Eddie boy. she's not interested! now go clean up the mess in aisle 6 !

[@dennisfitzgerald8486]

love the prices on the menu

[@carloseduardos7294]

I am learning a polite English....finally

[@GenerallyGeneralLee]

@1:23 What's Eddie's hand doing under that apron when he calls Linda?

[@benm1414]

You know ;-)

[@jpatherton2415]

He even said "boy I'm hard to get a hold of you"

[@elliart7432]

It’s fascinating how manners change overtime. If someone dropped a fork at a restaurant I was working at and then just… _left_ it there for me or my coworkers to pick up, we’d be gossiping about what an asshole they were all day 😂

“Avoid to use a knife to cut your salad” eating that salad without cutting it with a knife is a challenge! What a mess

[@stevenj2380]

Don't use it to cut a roll!!

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

But in another of these old-time manners vids, they say you CAN use a knife to cut your salad!! Oh, what a dilemma! 😂😂

[@susannuccio7637]

Never use a knife to cut salad. In a decent restaurant salad is made in bite size pieces so the diner can follow that rule.

[@sodality3970]

Sadly , this was all to change by the time when I was a teenager , in the 70's .

"The waitress will bring soup, you have no choice"

[@1940limited]

That is really formal dining. There's a few things I didn't know and will remember. Everyone's so polite and respectful. Whatever happened to that? Kids to day should watch this and learn from it.

[@1940limited]

@@new-lviv I watched this so long ago I'd almost forgotten. Thanks for the comment.

[@zms8092]

From now on, I’m only hosting Table D’Hote parties.

[@edwardgaines6561]

9:49 Just leave it there? Nah, be a nice person and clean up your mess. Asking the waitress is kinda snotty.

[@brianqrcode1673]

I thought that too, if I drop something it is automatic in me to pick it up, cause it was me who did it.

[@1940limited]

I'll be damned if I ever saw a waitress rush over with a new fork if you dropped one. That would be refreshing.

[@rollandjoeseph]

The "waitress " passed right by the fork on the ground and never picked it up..lol

[@_sparrowhawk]

It’s 2020 and the fork is still on the ground

Let’s bring the term Swell back. I’m sick of amazing......😊

Golly.

Gee willikers mister, I sure like the word awesome. Maybe you could pull the stick out of your backside?

Plot twist….Eddie’s taking her to A&W drive in. And it’s dutch. Equal rights and all😊

[@swordnquilstarskgrem]

Wow those prices are cheap! Two bucks for shrimp! And this was just three years before I was born! (Yeah, I'm an old fart). I also like where 'the hostess will never ask the girl any direct questions". Yes, cause in the 60s, our ladybrains hadn't evolved enough to choose our own food and answer waitress questions. "How would you like your steak cooked, Ann?" "Urrr burr drrrr." "I think that means medium. If not, tough. I'm the man."

[@KelleyM462]

Actually, no. Salaries for far less, as well.

[@edwardgaines6561]

@@cacatr4495 Wow, thank you ma'am for that analysis! As a man in his 30s, there is no reason to treat women special. Thanks to feminism, women *HAVE* to work now. They don't get a choice. I'm not paying for a woman's dinner which she has her own job. And no, I don't need sex from her either. That carrot & stick routine is dead. David's bridal filed for bankruptcy, and Signet Jewelry is closing 150 jewelry stores this year. The family unit is in disarray, and society is crumbling as a result. And I'm loving it! When women *DO* return to their traditional roles as woman, they will be in a burqua as Islam will take over America. And if you don't believe me, just look at the U.K.

[@FedUpSouthernGirl]

My husband orders for me bc he knows how I like things....funny bc when we were dating he watched what I ordered, how I liked my steak, etc so he could cook meat the way I like it. It's nice to go to eat bc he orders for me after we talk about what I want. We are Gen X. Its pleasant to have him take charge. I'm quite headstrong and actually make more money than him but find that anything I don't have to decide is less stressful Of course these werent the reasons for those actions back then. But the more we do traditionally the happier I am.
