“Dear pupils! You have watched a movie from 1952 about stock market. Now I tell you the homework for tomorrow: Find out the mistakes of the movie. Tell what went in another way than it was told in the movie. List the mistakes and explain on this list what caused the crash of the credit system in the USA. Alright, school is over for today!”
:-) If I feel lazy the next two months, I can use this movie, with contrasting voices from 2008, for the “present” side of my “airplane” installation. Thanks for posting it, Carlo Schiuma > Steffi !
