    A City round trip in the streets of old New York in 1939. The 16mm moving pictures show major spots such as the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River, Chelsea Pears, Streets and buildings in Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Jewish Area, Jersey and many more. Banned on film by the students Jan and Gerd Brügelmann from Cologne Germany. Also part of the travelling party is the famous architect Wilhelm Riphan. Combined with the sound of the swing era, the clip gives an entertaining and vivid impression of the atmosphere in the Big Apple.

    collection: Gathacol Radio, archives.org

    Back in those days, you didn't dare set foot out of the house in anything less than a suit/tie and fedora, unless you were a manual laborer at work. That era had a classiness that will probably never return.

      and people wore shoes instead of over priced trainers. Globalisation..Corporates...all shops look the same. Yes, culture has been lost in probably most countries where corporations have reached. If you look at colour footage of Albert Kahn's documentary taken at turn of the century, before 2 world wars and globalisation, every country had a national dress and own culture. It's on CZcams...fascinating!

    It's so remarkable how everyone is so well dressed every where they point the camera. It didn't matter if people were doing work-related things or just hanging out entertaining themselves. It's the epitome of being classy in such a beautiful city.

      Not 'swing' enough for '39. Dorsey's clearly on his way, though!

    Just dig the heck out of these old vids. Back then men all wore fedoras, now they all wear ball caps. Can U imagine, they didn't have crosswalks back then. You had to cross the street at your own risk unless there was a cop there directing traffic. Art Deco is my favorite form of art and it was all over the place in those days.

    3:18 - That Jewish Deli in the Lower East Side must have been quite fascinating - to slow down the frame rate in the film...Probably remembers the best pastrami on rye (pickle, please) he's never gonna have back home.

  • @boblittle2529
    @boblittle2529 Před 2 lety +2

    As others have pointed out, the music doesn't quite fit. "Sing, Sing, Sing" might have been a little more period correct. Still - very cool to slip back in time for a few minutes.

    a few years after the great depression and 2 years before the war, what a great city classic cars, nice people, clean streets, no fear of being attacked, mugged or even killed by a derailed mind like today: I wish I could have lived those years there, instead of many years later; anyhow thank you for this chance to look at the past.

    Cool music track but to me, it does seem more flapper era (post-war 1) than pre ww2. Everyone's a critic, yeah. Overall, loved it.

    • @lajavaantoine2796

      You are perfectly right, this music is typical of jazz black bands (Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman ?) from the twenties. It is very nice anyway.

    While the footage is neat, the music is 10 year mismatch and out of sync with this period and senselessly dislocating. It's 'depression era', roaring twenties jingle hops not 1939/40 swing era jazz and band. Thanks for the upload.

    Just like Germans to focus on architecture instead of the lives being lived in it -- on human types. This clip has a curiously detached feel to it; only a few shots are "populated" or show any action, both of which things characterize NYC more than anything else -- esp. back then. It's not true to its subject. If we had filmed Berlin at the same time, I'd hope both the shooting and the editing would be such that we'd get a good feel for the city.
