This was scanned from a 35mm negative film element and did not have the soundtrack with it.

Produced by the Handy (Jam) Organization for the Hoover Company in 1959, *It’s a Wonderful World* is a vibrant look at the convenience and modern appeal of the Hoover floor-polisher. This ten-minute promotional film showcases the appliance’s efficiency in transforming household cleaning, making it an essential tool for the contemporary homemaker. Through scenes of housewives using the floor-polisher with ease, the film emphasizes Hoover’s commitment to innovation in home appliances, combining practicality with style to simplify daily chores. Against a backdrop of idealized 1950s suburban life, the film captures the spirit of postwar American optimism, presenting the Hoover floor-polisher as a symbol of domestic progress and comfort.
