This is really interesting!
Don’t know if it’s the film quality or what but the air looks pretty hazy like it’s rather polluted. Still a great bit of history though.
A lot of the people being filmed looked EXTREMELY suspicious!
Very interesting. Sad how Paris has changed. I like how most Parisians were dressed so nicely. The Cloche Hats were very popular then.
Very cool!
Very nice. There were still horse-and-wagons on the street. In fact we still had a few in Newark in he 1940s. The junk man. Those who couldn’t afford a motor vehicle.
Paris is so much more beautiful now that color has been invented.
I’m currently trying to upgrade my wardrobe. This movie makes me feel inept.
Most interesting!
Everyone talking about pollution is wrong. Democrats would have told us, and wouldn’t be so strident, if we had made great advances in controlling pollution, and these really are the Good Old Days.
What about those swinging-dick sailors out on the town? Why do sailors always hang out in threes? They were very lucky they were too young to serve in the Great War, and probably too old for the Second, at least in the front lines.
And speaking of that, the Great War is the big specter hanging over the 1920’s; in the attitudes, the women smoking, flappers, and fashion. A little over a decade before women were still wearing corsets and bustles.
Not one woman wearing pants! Times have sure changed.
Except for the people and the vehicles I do not see much change from what I saw in Paris. All the buildings are still the same.
My wife insisted that we have coffee at the Cafe de la Paix. Even in 1972 the coffee was $5 a cup. Yikes! “Hemingway used to sit here.” I bet he didn’t pay $5 a cup. ;D
