Excellent content but hosts clothing was a joke. A little bit dated and over the top to say the least. I could only get the VHS tape and the video quality was a bit grainy. Another complaint is that the video shows people smoking at a dinner party. Smoking is no longer acceptable in a lot of peoples homes. I bought this for the high school students in my business club but I have to skip over the smoking and drinking parts.

We have enjoyed and benefited from Ruth Kern's video. We have also shared it with our Chinese friends as they prepare for their diplomatic assignments in the United States. They are most happy to have such an educational tool.

I reviewed this video and realized that it has a great educational value to both the young and the old, both the natives and new immigrants, different levels of educational background and diversified cultures. The trememdous success of this video in content and presentation has given me hope that we are once again entering a period of elegance and formality in our country which has been so desperately lacking since 1960's. I would like to make a strong point about the social education to our coming generations to keep the good traditions, such as how to dining, how to attire, and how to make a formal speech, etc. All these made US different from other cultures. This tape would just meet this eduactional needs. If any one, by any chance, were able to view this tape, he/she would benefit greatly from it. The video is well designed and carefully photographed.

I Needed This, June 24, 2003

I grew up in a home where we pretty much ate everything with one fork and our hands. We rarely ate at the table. This was fine until I grew up, went to college and married someone from a much higher economic level. I hated eating in public because I didn't know what to do at the table or how to go about it without looking stiff and nervous. This video was exactly what I needed. I now feel comfortable eating in a fancy restaurant or at a formal dinner. Thank you, Ms. Kern
