This 1958 film from former East Germany is a strange mixture of propaganda and advertising: While the first half of the film praises the general progress the communist country achieved during 1958, the second half advertises the extensive choice of Christmas gifts available at state-owned Konsum stores.

Reviewer:2muchtv - - July 30, 2007 Subject: So much of so little Wow, what a reality check. As the film promotes the consumer options at the state store, you start to notice something is missing. Grab a few USA Christmas 1958 items from Prelinger and you'll notice right away.
Where are the appliances, the radio, TV and HiFi audio gear? Toys and games? Bicycles, wagons, musical instruments?
Nope, it's clothing and dishes for Christmas, comrade...
