the problem with LA is not that it's overrun by hispanics and liberals--they've always been here. It's the damn New Yorkers who come out here and act like they own the place, speeding through the canyons, honking their horns, and thinking we natives are stupid because we talk slower than they do.

@lahope I wouldn't go insulting the New Yorkers. We need them to keep the CHP and local law enforcement flush with money. Let them speed and get pulled over, cited, and fined. Call it a mandatory vacation fee.
@controversyking Whats so bad about liberals? Words cannot describe how ignorant you are, in fact if you cant even understand what ignorance means..well that proves my point.
@Einhander49 - Uh, no, actually it WASN'T "always" overrun. Los Angeles was very white in the 1940s. It was America's largest white city. And when Mexico owned this area, it was just a backwater with few people.
This was filmed in 1952. The home movie footage which was shot by Richard Carlson was used in the travel documentary "Flight to California" also directed by Richard Carlson. Thanks for sharing with Us. Lorraine
This flim was shot in the early fifties - you can tell by the Packard convertible of that time! Anybody who could buy a Packard in the fifties was "living large!"
The blackface moment is great. It is clearly a Jolson impression, but not from The Jolson Story, starring Larry Parks. It could possibly be a screen test for the movie, but the man you see is not Larry Parks.
Jolson was phenomenally popular, and often enjoyed tributes throughout his life. I hope this clarifies what the image we see is, and is not.
No telling exactly what it is, unless someone has seen it before and can tell us.
I'll say it again...summer footage is the best footage...this is a great piece, wonderful stuff...i'd gauge all of the star homes are heavily gated now, though, ha ha.

@controversyking It's always been overrun by Hispanics you shithead. Given the area's location - what made you think it never was at one point?

@sudaev LA in the 40's was no different from any other apartheid police state. This isn't something to be proud of.
