Ahh we go back to the golden years of Madison Avenue. DDB was teaching America to "think Small" and others were teaching us not to "eat the whole thing" Later we would ask the ultimate question, "Where's the Beef/" These are those creative souls who sold us the stuff we did not need and we loved them for it.
Ever since (saucy old) Bernays we have been tricked and cudgeled and cajoled into parting with our hard earned. And these are the people that make it happen.
I picked this up in deference to the AMC series Mad Men which I was just barely able to watch. Like most "historical" pieces, i love watching the history but usually am repelled by the spectacle. When they start adding stuff that wasn't "correct" just to make the story into something that it wasn't I usually turn it off.
This was a good look at a great place in time in American history.
I give it a 5/10
