This fascinating short film (8 minutes) shows everyday life in many different cities around the world in the 1920s. The original black and white footage has been enchanced, colourised, and some sound added for effect. Cities in America and Europe are featured, and I found it very interesting to watch.

Very impressive! Attaching colours really makes the difference. We can see what AI can be good for. Best wishes, Michael

Excellent foraging, Pete! The similarities and differences among the cities are fascinating. I found Nice the most appealing.

Nice is a lovely city, though it is very crowded in the summer months. Glad you enjoyed the film, Liz.

I watched this one, and also one on 1920’s Paris (also by NASS) even though Paris gets a full minute in “A Trip Around the World…” Videos like this are truly fascinating. I wonder what people will think one hundred years from now when watching videos taken today?

I imagine they will think much the same as we do now. Except many of those cities might well be under water, if the Climate Change predictions are correct! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Already a lot of wealthy people in the US, judging by the number of motor-cars! Stockholm seemed the least fraught. Nice the least populated. Venice…holy cow what a jam. I like that there was a dog in one gondola. Always interesting to see these clips.

Love this one Pete, seeing the differences in traffic (and bicycles) and advertising! Loved the fashionable Paris ladies, and held my breath waiting for the gondolas to capsize!

Great stuff, and interesting to see Stockholm back when they drove on the left. Some pedestrians seemed quite willing to take their lives in their hands when they crossed the road! Cheers, Jon.

They should have stayed on the left. It makes us different, in a good way. 🙂
