Story of Enterprise is an exceptionally made capitalist propaganda film from the 1950s. Though unabashed propaganda, the film is based on the true success story of Thomas A. Carvelas, who went from ice cream stand owner to multimillionaire corporate head. Humanizing the advantages of capitalism with honesty and zeal, the film successfully glorifies the system of commerce that has been such a focal point in American history. Quintessentially 50s, American, and uplifting, Story of Enterprise is an enjoyable riff on the American Dream.
