About this film
The USA withdrew and sought to lead its own life. The nation tried to return to normalcy. In an unstable world Americans knew amazing prosperity and, while it lasted, lived with carefree abandon. Then came the day of reckoning. The first stages of the Age of the Great Depression were confusing and painful. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
