Delve into the rich legacy of the Calvin Company, a powerhouse in advertising, education, and industrial film production. Established in 1931 by F. O. Calvin and Betty, the company pioneered 16mm business movies during the Great Depression. Flourishing during World War II, Calvin produced safety and training films for the Navy and Air Force.
The "Golden Age" of the late 1940s to the late 1950s marked Calvin's pinnacle, with films for major Fortune 500 companies. Noteworthy personalities like Robert Altman contributed to Calvin's creative legacy. Additionally, CALVIN Company was the leading US producer of both 8mm and 16mm film projectors, known under the brand Movie-Mite, further solidifying its influence in the industry.
Despite challenges in the 1960s, Calvin maintained its reputation until the early 1980s when regular film production ceased. However, the legacy lives on through surviving film prints archived at the Library of Congress.
