Jazzdad posted a video about Revell kits, and for some reason the film style reminded me of this one.
Brunswick: The Golden Years
This is promo video by Brunswick. My home town had one of these setups. The whole deal, right down to the ball returns, scoring tables (with built in ash trays), chairs, tables, ball racks, lockers, and even the matching ball washer. Somebody watched this video and said 'Give me one of those in blue and orange, 36 lanes, all of it, every option you have!" When you say "Bowing Alley", this is exactly what I think of. Every last detail.
The funny thing is that even as a kid in the 1960's the place had a dated retro feel to it. Since this was from 1958, it couldn't have been more than about 10 years old at the time. But the whole thing had that 1950's futuristic look that somehow both seemed new and modern, yet old and dated at the same time.
Fun to watch though, reminds me of many hours spent there as a kid. My grandfather played in leagues there, and even bowled a 300 a time or two. Boy was he proud of that!
