Old Vintage color Film from New York City in the 1945 shot by Edward Theiss. Edward Theiss is my grandfather whom passed on some of his old films to the Theiss family. I never knew my grandfather because he passed away when I was a newborn, but I feel connected with him through his photography. This one is my favorites.....

Dated around Sept. 17th 1945....

  • Amazing, thank you for posting!

  • Very nice!!

  • @MrHack4Fun:

    In the US, color film had been available since 1935 when Kodachrome was introduced.

  • Wait a sec, how is this in color? I don't even remember there being color in the 60's. Can someone elaborate?

  • This is from before my time but I find this film rather touching. Thank you for posting your grandfather's priceless footage.

  • Wow,, I wonder if MTV was in the same spot as today?!

  • How could anyone dislike this. What a wonderful look at a much sweeter time and in ways more innocent time. Thanks for sharing this great slice of Americana.

  • I bet if these people are alive they probably miss this..

  • Loved the first part with that smoking advert for Camel. Never seen anything like that..
