Citas
[first lines]
Narrator: Since the first caveman hit his sweetheart over the head with a club, the passing parade has been run by men. But never has this been more of a man's world than it was in the days of Queen Victoria. A woman was supposed to faint if you winked at them. Yes, a woman might work for her living - but never a lady. Land sakes, no. You made samplers, painted china, raised babies, did your cooking, went twice to church on Sundays, used twelve yards of silk in a party dress, wore seven underskirts - and if you were an old maid, you might even be allowed twenty dollars a month for teaching school. Yes, men ran the world.

Part of MGM's Passing Parade series with John Nesbitt, this film takes a look at Clara Barton (Sara Haden) who would become known for starting the Red Cross. The film starts off talking about how it's a "man's world" and how women don't belong in wars. This leads up to the Civil War where many men are killed because there wasn't anyone there to take care of them. This leads Haden to try and help and although it does take years, the Red Cross becomes a symbol known around the world. This is another winning entry in the series, which always manages to tell interesting stories about famous things that some people might not know about. I personally didn't know how the Red Cross was founded so this led to me finding this short extremely entertaining from start to finish. Seeing the U.S. want to stay out of the program for so long was a real head-scratcher but the film remains entertaining.
