The episode "Main Street U.S.A." (telecast: 23 January 1967) of "The Lucy Show" comes to mind. Developers wanting to tear down a beautiful main street to make way for "modern" soulless development. Probably the closest Lucille Ball ever got to dealing with a political issue.... I forget the name of the film, but there's a public domain 1940s film about a man trying to save a Confederate-era building (either town hall or courthouse, I forget which) from being torn down. EDIT: the above film is Colonel Effingham's Raid (it took about 10 minutes of searching to find the name). Not sure how eligible it is for this thread, been years since I saw it.... That's an interesting find and addition Mr D... Colonel Effingham's Raid Just recently down there in the South somewhere a story unfolded where a Confederate statue was officially removed in the middle of the night for fear of violent reprisals. I think it has caused great controversy for some of the passionate Southerners, our American friends may be able to elaborate... |
