Isn't YouTube wonderful....

[just2amuse]

Very nice, thank you.

[KistoDreams]

Adorable.

[justasondheimbaby]

Who is the singer? It sounds like Marilyn Miller.

[coolitababy]

@justasondheimbaby Binnie Hale.

[justasondheimbaby]

@coolitababy Thank you!

[applecounty]

Very good. I suggest the music in this version fits the clip better than the other one. The location - South Devon or Cornwall?

[coolitababy]

@applecounty I'm not sure. I agree looks like West of England.

[astrelita]

Visually, I prefer the sepia tone of the other version, but I like this song better, it's more "of the era." But either way it's an utterly charing little film!

[feckingbillgates]

The Harry Nilsson one is more powerful for me - it cements more the sense of passing time.

All wonderful though.

[heinkle1]

The Air ships are fantastic!

[gogglebut]

I love the Harry Nilsson one and I love this one too. Fabulous film, I love the part where the two ladies are on the beach with the children with their shoes and coats on xx

[laughland]

I love the old footage and the music. Thanks for posting this!

[byrdsmaniac]

I like this one a teensy bit more than the Nilsson one, but

they're both *****!

[coolitababy]

Thanks, byrds' and thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

[Xpinger]

I'm sorry I'm torn between the two - at first I thought Harry Nilsson no question (having watched that one first) supported by the fact that when this one began I didn't like it, but then by the time this one finished I liked it too :)

[coolitababy]

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you liked them.

[mic33george]

This film is totally charming-perfect choice music wise,Mary and the other kids "little pets" as my nan would have said!!

[Joannawysiwyg]

What do you mean by "successful?" Views or ratings on youtube? Pish, who can explain the mystery of that. Looks to me like everybody who saw it appreciates it very much.

I was wondering, did it go over well for the neighbor lady at her birthday party? And I'd still like to know the form of the original footage and how you converted it.

[coolitababy]

She took the old film to a place in London that tranfers old home movies to DVD.

I never said anything about a birthday party.

[Joannawysiwyg]

So which one did you go with?  Was it well-received? I can only imagine yes!

[hawkmoon03111951]

Prefer the song on this version, it fits perfectly.

[coolitababy]

Thanks for your comments.

[mythtree]

Wonderful, fantastic vintage footage, what a beautiful life, thank you for sharing. I liked the sepia tone of the Harry Nilsson edit, but I'm so glad you put this one up, because I was feeling rather melancholy, and this picked me up. Just can't help but think either way...

amazing, love and hugs to mary!

[coolitababy]

Oh, you left a message here too. Glad you like this vid. I do too. It hasn't been very popular...9 ratings! There's another one (part one)>>>>>>>>>>>>>should be on the right. Anyway, thanks again for your comment.

This is nice footage of how times were back then in England and probably the same here in the US in the rural areas! I loved seeeing the dirigible (blimp) floating by in the backround...the music fits the times, coolitababy

[anahidkassabian]

Hi, Great stuff. I prefer this one by a *mile*, and I'll tell you why.

The Harry Nilsson version invites us to reflect on live all those years ago, while this one positions us in the same period as the people in the film, so we're closer to them in this one.

My two bits :) Either way, well done!

[coolitababy]

Thanks for your feedback. I think I completely agree with you and see what you mean

[Joannawysiwyg]

Good point, and a way to think when one is choosing "the music."

[59leovirgo]

The footage is spell-binding. Excellent quality! Just loved it; but I do prefer the song on the other version. Thank you!

[coolitababy]

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

[blacflag]

cool footage

[supersonicextreme750]

This is amazing!

[pinknightstand]

Wonderful! Are there three children in the family at this point? Thanks so much for posting this!!

[coolitababy]

Yes. Mary's the middle one.

Glad you liked it. Thought you would. I'll post number 2 soon.
