Master 2 - Tape 1 WS family outside having a barbeque (BBQ) near a lake. Dad in chef's hat flips burgers on the grill; people sit around on lawn chairs drinking high balls. VO: "These are your neighbors, people like you. People with time for leisure - for modern living." Hamburgers are passed out. Cut to couple with garden tools walking by a split-level ranch house. Cut to people on outside patio on lawn chairs, sunbathing, father, in shorts and knee socks, brings out portable tv. Son runs excited with baseball hat in hand to see it. VO talks about the suburbs as the best of both worlds. Pan urban skyline (New York?), pov shots from car: on highway, tracking shots past suburban shopping center and resedential streets. WS Red and white 1958 Rambler drives into the driveway of the house, and the family runs out to see it. Fashionably dressed mom walks out and kisses dad. MS dad (in a suit) walks around the car, pointing things out to mom. CU large format camera with black drape - photographer under drape adjusts focus. Nice shot of camera, professional photography.
