Oil dependency is an increasingly important topic and this film, Oil for Aladdin’s Lamp, is a powerful example of how oil dependency was embraced and encouraged in 1950s America. An educational and unabashedly promotion film, Oil for Aladdin’s Lamp contains colorful narration and vivid imagery to demonstrate petroleum’s prevalence in everyday American life. The film also provides a basic chemical understanding of oil but never gets too technical. Overall, Oil for Aladdin’s Lamp is a fun look at the history of an industry that now dominates geopolitical interest.
