Archivist Rick Prelinger sez, "I'm sure Beany's Hamburgers weren't the healthiest food, but this eight-minute home movie from Prelinger Archives takes us inside a fast-food joint from the Korean War era. Filmed in Long Beach, California right across from the Circle Drive-In, this film shows cooks, customers and classic cars in loving detail."
Home movies are richly detailed, often enigmatic records of everyday life, culture, landscape and industry. We're scanning our collection in collaboration with the nonprofit Internet Archive — watch it grow!
Home Movie: PA100018: Beany's Drive-In, Long Beach, Calif., ca. 1952
(Thanks, Rick!)
