So lovely! Just curious - Does anyone know the original source/creator of this footage? Does the raw footage live in an archive somewhere? Thanks!

@banjo9052 - I couldn't agree with you more ... Society is in a downward spiral today ... No class and decorum.
-
@tkoizumi - Hard to believe people used to walk ... No fat people in this video.
-
@leedumett444 - Science and Technology has its limits ... Life appears to have been much better in the past.
-
The two main things that stood out to me in this video ... No fat/over-weight people ... and everyone was dressed so well ...
Boy have times changed ... and society is on a decline.

women in dresses and men in suits---what a novel idea! Being young,I'm used to over-fed slobs in sweats and spandex with advertisements across their chests and backs. And of course no outfit is complete without a baseball cap bearing a logo of some sort. The "World of Tomorrow" is here!

Yeah, I don't think this was what they had in mind...

Many thanks for this clip. I am English and have memories of that time. My sister married a GI from Connecticut. What struck me was the demeanor of the crowds - apart from their clothes. They walk with a level of dignity and confidence that you wouldn't find among crowds now - public behavior meant observing a few conventions - you didn't behave as if you were in your own living (or bedroom) when out in public. I have sent a link to my niece in Utah - she loves the clip too.

Sorry, your comment was removed in error. You're correct, somewhere, we lost the civility that was present before WWII.
