	1939 New York World's Fair - 1939 Worlds Fair Complete 4 DVD Set
		The 1939 Worlds fair took four years to plan and construct and was the biggest international event since World War I. It held its grand opening on April 30, 1939 with 200,000 people in attendance on opening day.
		Unfortunately, the Fair Corporation had invested 67 million dollars (in addition to nearly a hundred million dollars from other sources) to put on the event so the most successful fair of all time was in fact an economic bust.
		It showcases the wonderful future world of 1960 - which given the mental state of the American people during this time of war was quite a marvel and momentary escape from a world that had just rolled from a depression to a war.
