Easy-Bake Kitchen Debate

Easy-Bake Kitchen Debate.

Easy-Bake Kitchen Debate is a 1959 buddy comedy film about a U.S. Vice President (Richard Nixon) and a Soviet First Secretary (Nikita Khrushchev) who exchange informal remarks through interpreters at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park in Moscow on July 24, 1959.

History

An entire house was built for the exhibition which the American exhibitors claimed that anyone in the United States could afford. It was filled with labor-saving and recreational devices meant to represent the fruits of the capitalist American consumer market.

The debate was recorded on color videotape, and Nixon made reference to this fact; it was subsequently broadcast in both countries.
