Rainy Saturday childhood afternoons at the Calderone Movie Theater on Long Island had a great effect on me.

You know what had a great effect on me? Carol Lee Kaizinga.

If these movies aren’t what you’re looking for, just follow other vids on Youtube

ISRAEL LAND OF PROMISE 1960s TRAVELOGUE

[nopardons]

Around The World In 80 Days came out in 1956 ( yes, I had to look it up, but did so, because I knew that it was NOT in the LATE '50s, as you claimed ), so any short about Israel,would have been about a very young "modern Israel, since it was founded in 1949 and doesn't really make any sense, to do about a nation that was only 7 years old!

I tried to find the short for you and the only thing that is remotely close, is a 1956 movie, made in Israel by Israelis, called THE HOPE. But couldn't find out anything else...sorry.

[Strac6]

Jeez, I think that’s it. I have a vague recollection it was in color, as this is.

Thank you very much!

Did a little research as well. ATWI80D played in theaters for more than a year. We moved to Clearwater, Florida in mid ‘57, and I know I saw ATWI80D in Tampa, so the dates click.

Might have seen the Israel movie later.

Thanks.

You're welcome; sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

I too spent a LOT of Saturday afternoons, in the mid to late '50s going to movie theatres. :-)

[Strac6]

Watched it through. That is definitely it.

Thank you again so much.

You have solved 20 years of head scratching!

[Strac6]

They were magic times..... In a way I miss them.

I don’t think kids have that today!

Never seen it myself.

Just did a query on google

documentary of early israel 1950’s

Just followed the vids on the side that sounded like what you described.

The internet is a wonderful thing.
So much at our finger tips.

[Strac6]

I had tired same technique, but never found it. U are a genius.

Thanks again.

You all are good! Here’s one I have been trying to find for years. I *believe* it was a made-for-tv movie, possibly of the A&E/Lifetime channel variety. What I remember are two kids, the oldest is a girl of maybe 14, and either a parent or some relative, living out in the woods or maybe like the mountains. The adult figure either dies or leaves, but the kids keep on living in the home. They hide fact they are on their own from the school teachers. Then, to make ends meet, they start collecting and selling wild flowers that grow on the mountain or in the woods. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

I have one. An alien gets left behind in the woods when his ship leaves because of some FBI agents. A kid befriends him by giving him some peanut butter M&Ms knockoffs. The two bond to the point where if one gets sick, so does the other. They make a communications device out of an old Texas Instruments toy and contact the ship, which picks the alien up. Any ideas?

Note: it is NOT E.T.!
