Thanks for posting this. No date... it looks like the 1950s but I can't be sure. I know there was a small rivalry between NM and Jack Kerouac later in the decade; Kerouac championed the word Beat instead of hipster, which was the term used right after WWII when both of them got out of the service and went existential. This period gets little press. Many WWII guys just didn't bother coming back to the world. Some, including an ancient uncle of mine, joined motorcycle gangs and started that ball rolling. It was a heady, very peculiar period in history. Not just in the States. The whole Post WWII hipster/beat thing could use a good documentary. I seriously doubt any Official Historian wants to see it because it adds interesting color to The Greatest Generation... and maybe they don't want that. Gathering clips and interviewing surviving subjects will likely make it impossible anyway.
