Caption: A family barbecue

 

Research our database for
detailed shot descriptions.

Jammison Handy's brilliant technicolor and black & white industrial films for America's giant corporations, GM, Bell Telephone, Coca-Cola, preserve the finest classic image of Americana available anywhere. From a 1957 Chevy rolling off the assembly line to a perfect family back-yard barbecue, the Handy Collection is a testament to the industries & dreams that made America great.

The Jam Handy Company was the subject of a recent book by Diane Keaton. The image of the American dream, as interpreted by the Handy films, are truly the dream of products that everyone in America could own at that time.

The social importance of this collection is slowly being realized by filmmakers like Keaton and we expect much more attention to be given to these image in the future.
