Ocean Drive is a series of local roads in southern New Jersey, connecting Atlantic City to Cape May along barrier islands on the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1934 the project was started and finished ten years later. The project created 5 bridges and 50 miles of road way.
To promote the finished road way The Cape May County Bridge Commission filmed a video in 1941 to show in movie theaters across the Sri-State area.
Some of those theaters showed that video in black and white while other showed it in color.
We were able to obtain the film and scan it for your viewing pleasure. The footage has been color corrected, to a point, and had the audio restored to the best of our ability.

NOTE: due to the size requirements of KZfaq I cut some of the frame down.

Wow Im here before the traditional one thumbs down LOL, neat footage! The wooden speed boats are so cool! Neat to see the marble tournaments in WW, Its sad to think how many of those young people were probably soon off to war after this summer was filmed. I miss my Grandparents generation so much. Just the stories they told were better than any book or movie. Thanks for sharing!

This is a fantastic film, thanks for posting! But I noticed a weird minute of audio bleeding through at 11:46, maybe it was recorded in error during the video transfer process. It was fantastic seeing the Caterpillar ride at Playland Pier, as a youngster I was lucky to go on that ride in the late 1960s or early 1970s when it was still there at Marine Pier. There were also some cool scenes of Hunt's Ocean Pier in Wildwood. It was also very nice seeing the lighthouse and concrete ship Atlantus at Cape May Point and also a brief glimpse of the airship hangar and Admiral Hotel in Cape May, very cool! Thanks again!

6:00 "The Boys from Syracuse" was a 1940 movie, so this film was probably shot in 1940.
