The picture is obviously matted in. No 1959-era TV picture EVER looked THAT good. Everything was taken off the air -- there was no cable. We had drop-out, lines, static, snow and everything else. A 21-inch picture was the biggest that you could get.
From a Depression-era documentary that describes the importance of the Mississippi River. Written and directed by Pare Lorentz The complete film can be found at: http://www.archive.org/details/RiverThe1937
