Leisurama tells the story behind the sophisticated and creatively marketed housing communities built during the late 1950s and early '60s in Montauk, NY and Lauderhill, Fla. Dubbed "Leisurama," these new homes sold for as little as $12,995 and arrived completely furnished and stocked with every imaginable modern amenity. Macy's exhibited a full-scale model of the house on the ninth floor of its flagship New York City store. Throughout this colorful documentary, architects, homeowners, and historians explain the significance of the Leisurama homes. In recent years, a renewed interest in mid-century moderism and Cold War-era ephemera rekindled interest in the Leisurama house.
