The February 9th1964 issues of Screen Stories and The Saturday Evening Post provide insight into how information about movies and entertainment was provided to Americans in the early 1960s. With an emphasis on gossip columns, photo spreads, and celebrity puff pieces, they provides a time capsule of what entertainment news was like 60 years ago.
I’m Dr. Mark Hatala and I’m a cognitive scientist who studies time travel by replicating entire days from the past. So all of the television (both daytime and primetime), newspapers, magazines, music (you name it) from a particular date – in this case, February 9th 1964 – the night the Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
This video is an analysis of the February 9th 1964 issues of Screen Stories and The Saturday Evening Post.
