The 300 exhibiting companies and 66 nations at the Fair are joined by religious exhibits of many faiths in this kaleidoscopic exposition of man’s material accomplishments. His future aspirations and his spiritual yearnings. The Fair is colorful and chaotic. It has areas of rare beauty in architectural design and an equal portion of garish.
Notable is the repeated use of circular theater designs. Fair exhibitors are learning fast that their guests have come to be entertained or, at least, bemused. They also want action and they get it in the innumerable exhibit “rides” which are Robert Moses’ answer to Coney Island. The president of the Fair corporation has rare courage. His show is doing without fan-dancers and has practically exiled the paid amusement area. Instead, visitors are looking into the Futurama at General Motors, at the dinosaurs in Ford convertibles and at Michelangelo’s Pieta in the Vatican pavilion.
Highlight of the General Motors Exhibit, the Futurama Ride permits visitors to see, hear and feel the world as it may be known in the future, a lunar outpost, a permanent community in once-lifeless Antarctica, a vacation playground amid the strange beauty of the ocean floor.

Quite possibly the best day of my life was at the Fair in 64. I was an 8 year old from Queens so the was in our backyard. Attended several times but this one time we stayed until nightfall and saw the fireworks after Disney's Small World. My grandmother's friend had a grandson and this kid kept me laughing so hard I cried tears of hysterical laughter. Went home put ice cream and 7 up in my Grandmother's new blender. Can it be better?

My favorite President at the groundbreaking; unbelievable that I knew of this only today, April 6, 2022, another tumultuous period in the world. I was 6 years old Summer of 64, clueless. It was a beautiful day, sunny, not too hot in NYC. I had a great time with Ma. But 1964 ended in tragedy, my Dad died at 38 years old, almost to the day of Kennedy's death. This is a bittersweet film. Thank you, again. ✌️🇺🇸☘️

I attended 'both' years of the Fair as a six-seven year old kid. I would stay at my maternal grandparents in Greenwich and then my entire family would spend a day at the Fair. To this impressionable kid, the Fair was quite a show. I remember the pavilions such as those of GE, GM, Pepsi-Cola with its 'It's a Small World' boat ride, Vatican City with its Pièta statue, the AMF Monorail, and the New York State Pavilion. Following lunch at the Schaefer Center, it was off for a catnap at a sleeping alcove at Simmon's pavilion. This is a wonderful survey of that Fair!

I was there in 1964 or 65 at age 7 or 8 with my mother and got lost! I was scared and crying until authorities brought me to a building and paged my mother on the loudspeaker. While we waited for her they served me free ice cream and a hot dog. That stopped me crying real fast! After that, my mother was extra careful about keeping me in her sights. She always was, but, knowing myself as I do, I probably ran off after something that I had wanted to see (dinosaurs or a cool car?) and then got lost in the crowd.

I used to take my bike there by my self. I absolutely loved the strawberry waffles with whip cream. In the day time it was fantastic, but at night it was magical.

I was 9 when we went to the fair from western ny. It was like going to another planet. This video including many things the others don’t. The Brass Rail snack bars under the space “flowers” where lunch was under a dollar. And the Dino vending machines making little injection molded dinosaurs while you waited. Those things were smoking hot when they popped out too! I still have mine. I didn’t see the Australian pavilion which was dismantled and shipped to western ny to serve as lodge for a local ski area until it burned down several years ago- very sad loss! The greyhound people movers considered a luxury for many to ride :) I know of two restored and running in the hands of private collectors. The huge Belgian waffles were unheard of to many before the fair. The feathered hats, the colorful streetlights. So many things I remember like yesterday

The music is the original music from the public domain movies that I also edited the pictures from. I have rearranged it a little and repeated it but I wanted the original music score and not add something that has no connection at all to the fair. At least some of the music was composed to fit the pictures that we see and some other music was exclusively selected for some of the fair footage.

The soundtrack? Love it. Info on the composers, sources?

@lassefilm Жыл бұрын

I know very little about the music. The music is from the original public domain footage where music was available. I have not added any external music as it wold not be correct "World's Fair" music.

@tennissir1986 11 ай бұрын

You mean the music is from the same place you stole the film from.

@lassefilm 11 ай бұрын

@@tennissir1986 I have not stolen anything so the music cannot be from anything that I stole since I didn't steal anything in the first place. Using public domain footage means that we are using whatever is there for us to use in order to not steal anything. But the music is from the same footage that I have used for some kind of consistency so that everything presented is World's Fair, music, pictures, sound effects and not something else that doesn't belong.

I believe the music is from "Unisphere, Biggest World on Earth" from which I also have taken public domain footage. I have no further information on the music.

Hey, all you 1964 New York World’s Fair fans out there! Anyone know where I can find a daylily called ‘Worlds Fair’? (Sadly, no apostrophe.) It had creamy yellow flowers. This daylily was introduced by Gilbert H. Wild and Son in 1964, so I’m guessing it was named after _this_ World’s Fair. ❤️ Sadly, the Gilbert H. Wild and Son website does not have it. I haven’t been able to find the ‘Worlds Fair’ daylily anywhere else, either. Can anyone here help me out? Thanks!!!

The music is from the same movies as the picture material that I have used. I have moved it around a little but it is the music selected by the official World's Fair media producers who produced the original movies.

If N.Y.C. Were to host another world's fair then they should make the whole city one big gigantic world's fair since it's a melting pot with tourist attractions already in place and visitors coming from all over country and around world.
