MAKING THE FILM
TO MAKE THIS FILM, we (my co-producer Robin Hessman, my production assistant Julie Golia, and I) pre-interviewed approximately 300 people who were involved in the early years of the company’s history. We interviewed relatives of both Earl Tupper and Brownie Wise, spoke with members of the early Tupperware staff, and tracked down hundreds of dealers, managers and distributors who worked out in the field in the late ‘40s and ‘50s.

DURING THE RESEARCH PHASE of the film, we also looked through hundreds of hours of film we found in a loft space at Tupperware headquarters. We found footage and documents in a cavernous barn at Stanley Park in western Massachusetts. We spent weeks in historical societies and state archives in Georgia, New York, Florida, and Massachusetts. We discovered old Tupperware films and beautiful color home movies in private attics and basements. It was a mammoth task — and it was exciting historical detective work.
