A dreamy (drugged?) housewife contemplates the best ways of pillaging natural resources from space, sea, and earth in this clip from “Out of This World,” a 1964 promotional film for Frigidaire. How do I know she’s a housewife? Because when she’s done riding through General Motors Futurama exhibit at the New York’s 1964 World’s Fair, she starts sashaying through ultramodern Frigidaire-appliance-stocked kitchens in a bizarre array of various “ethnic” costumes. View the whole film at the Prelinger Archives.
