Love this channel however, many are incorrectly dated. This one includes footage that is at least early 40s, not 1935. The theater was showing the movie "The Outlaw," which premiered in 1943!!
I keep looking for this song ... I found a similar one that can work. Kai Engel - July (album Chapter Three/Warm) freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/Chapter_Three__Warm/
Great and fascinating video! Most of the people, cars, and even buildings no longer exist in nature, but you can still look at them. In combination with the soundtrack, a feeling of a some paranormality of what is happening is created. Another world that is no longer there, but we can still see it!
I LOVE to watch this whale playing My 1920`s and 1930`s 78 RPM Records! Gives it a Neat feeling! I LOVE this! Some of the night time footage was filmed in the 1940`s! Still very NEAT!
No overpopulation, no proliferation of hard drugs or prescription drugs,no t.v./internet/smart phones,no nuclear threat,corporate greed was less prevelant. I could go on and on!
It was at the first height of corporate greed and TV and the internet have been a net positive despite some negative impacts. Like you are writing this on the internet.
What T.V. has become is a big negative. Corporate control has turned it into a mouthpiece for the worst, greediest political candidates and the brainwashed accept it all. The quality of programming has diminished to the point of banality with reality TV and moronic sitcoms. Sports (which I enjoy) has become a religion to the millions who sit on their couches instead of participating themselves. There are exceptions of course, but the masses go for the trash and are influenced by this crap to socities detriment. As for the internet, the same can be said to a more concerning degree. People lack communicating skills due to their constant involvement with it. The worst kind of propaganda and dangerous dishonesty is presented as fact and the majority swallow it up. Roads to violence are freely shared with susceptible youth and actually put into practice. Yes there are great advantages to it, like this channel and educational outlets, but the masses go for influencers and the most mind numbing junk. As I type this (on an educational channel that I have the up most respect for) lets not pretend that the educational benefits outweigh the enormous negatives that come with it. The majority will always choose the dumbest stuff.
I may be wrong but I think the night shots are of downtown L.A. on Broadway. Don't know if Beverly Hills had a Clinton's Cafeteria but I know Broadway did at that time and it's still there!
Beverly Hills looked so average back then. Like any other California town or city. Drive through Central California today and many towns/cities still look like this with maybe some modern upgrades. A far cry from today's upscale exclusive shops, art and fashion boutiques, large hidden modernist mansions, and gated communities.
@@neilsaunders9309 I think that's subjective, but what I will say is that today's Beverly Hills is a strange juxtaposition of exclusivity, modernism, tourists of all stripes, pretentious influencers, working class people, Lamborghinis, and high end shops that are not too far from average strip malls. Mayberry it isn't. It's highly trafficked which means as soon as you leave your gated commune, you step out into LA. It no longer has that quietly bucolic upscale feel to it. Just upscale and busy.
@@neilsaunders9309 I don't know that it is, but the alternative could be worse. Had LA not kept growing in population the area could just as well turned out to be like other cities in the northeast--in decline. Since the economy has remained buoyant over the decades, the area as a whole has dramatically transformed itself into a modern city. There are cities around California that still retain the charm BV once had.
@@dannhymir9678 That is a very Neoliberal answer; one that views human beings as mere economic units - factors of production or, increasingly (given rapidly widening structural unemployment), consumption. All the wealth you boast about is concentrated in the hands of the kind of trashy oligarchs who build the McMansions.
Wow amazing. I was born in 1998. I cannot even imagine the time like this. Wish i could go back to see it all. This old stuff amazes me everytime
Michael Decker same except I was born in 99'

Right there on the right at 0:15 is a sixth series 626 light eight packard sedan. Had one many many years ago.
This jumps to the 1940s in the night shots. GREAT VIDEO!!
Excellent video quality! I would like to know the name of the soundtrack of the first scene.

I'm still looking for this song...
It's just a selection from a royalty free music catalogue. Likely the one provided by YT.
@biodegradante you still looking?
I love the cars. I love that Era. Simple life.
Great and fascinating video!

It's a very conflicting feeling of bleakness and wonder.
What is the street being driven on in the 1st part of the film?
I was born in 1965 30 year's after this. in the City of Industry Calif and I remember two years old.

I even found this video in color
So many gas stations in the daytime shots. At night the streets look full of trash along the curbs

Looks like stock footage for a studio.
I wonder how many of this cars ale electric.

It looked a hell of a lot better.
