New York in the 1940’s and fifties and Berlin or London in the 1920’s and maybe Moscow or Saint Petersburg, Russia up until recently. San Francisco in the 1950-1960’s must’ve been pleasant. I haven’t seen South American cities but Montevideo, Buenos Aires and perhaps Santiago would be interesting too.

Magnificent flick. I was born in N.Y. July, 1940. Am a youthful 83 now. Bought an around the world ticket and traveled for 7 months in 1960. My entire perspective was transformed thereafter. It was as if I was in these video scenes again. Time passes rapidly & having experienced a collage of numerous endeavors & global lifetime experiences in China,, Taiwan, South America, Carribean, and USA-SFO/LAX/PS/ S.Florida, I look back and reminisce what a wonderful life I had growing up in N.Y.'s renaissance 40'-50's era..The whole world is a mess now.

@stevenstirling8474, the internet, especially KZfaq, has opened up the World to be viewed from all corners of the World, which is of course awesome. However, it does have its drawbacks. When we were children, we would hear older folks talk about wonderful places to which they had been and we would be left in awe whilst allowing our imagination to run free and wild as to what those places looked like. So, technology is awesome, but it takes some imagination away from us

I was born in’55 and have often thought that I was born 20 years too late. Aside from war, some of the most wonderful times in and around a city like NY (I grew up in the northern burbs) were in the 40’s (Big Band music, Broadway), 50’s (Beat poetry, Lenny Bruce, recognition and appreciation of blues music, birth of rock and roll), 60’s (the whole age of aquarius/flower power/psychedelic music-San Francisco would have been great to be a young adult in the 60’s). By the 70’s and 80’s rock music was peaking out. I would have been satisfied making it until the turn of the millennium. Nothing today has very much interest, and the world seems to be coming apart. I’d hate to be a young person today.

I was born in NYC in 1971 (Gen X), so by the time I was teen in the early 1980s, all those movie palaces in Time Square in the 1940s had turned into X-Rated Live peep shows and bargain adult video store warehouses (in the 50s/60s they had turned into live burlesque and jazz clubs, and in the 1970s they became dirty "grindhouse" cinemas showing Kung Fu and Blaxploitation films). By the mid 1990s Mayor Guiliani had cleaned it up and returned it back into family friendly Disneyworld tourist hub. Well its 2023 and I can't help but see the deterioration and decline happening again. But it has been truly fascinating seeing an area transform itself again and again throughout my lifetime!

Thanks so much for doing this. Seeing this in color really humanizes the period and people. The three things that really stood out 1) I didn't see any obese people. Everyone is medium weight or thinner. 2) The racial stratification. The few black folks seen, except for one are in lower caste jobs, and in the subway shots of people on their way into midtown, it's all white people. Very few latinos as well. And finally, everyone is well dressed. There are no shlubs walking in the streets.

Just fantastic, one of your very best. The first half really gives the feel of the city as I recall it going into city in the 60's. I've been on many of those subway platforms. You're really "in there" with the hustle & bustle, even down to the fish market. The second half is more touristy, panoramic, from a distance.

It's amazing how developed, how clean, how orderly, and how prosperous New York City looked. Everyone was well dressed and seemed hard working. America had pride in NYC and its other cities then. It's too bad our current political leaders, especially those from the South, treat New York City like trash.

@@andreamlongmire1066 NYC's African-American population in 1940 was about 5%. Racial issues did not flare up until massive Black migration from the South had occurred. Many Blacks, who were badly mistreated in the South, brought their contempt for Whites with them. There was a lot of reverse racism, a phenomenon that has not been well researched.

Nice job!! one thing i did notice though, in your sound design, when you were showing trains IN the city, you added the sound of Steam engines (choo-Choo) NYC outlawed them long before the 1940's. All the rail in the city was electric. But it's a minor point, very enjoyable!
