I'd love to watch this, but youtube seems to have singled this video out as one of the ones that only loads at about 2k/sec.
-
yeah, the quality of this film is really amazing for the time.
-
great video. I love the fact that they used to wear top hats for the inaugural. I wonder why that custom stopped?
-
This footage is absolutely incredible.

FDR appears around 2:50 and appears to be walking, but almost all his weight must have been on his attendant's arm. Is the man in uniform whose arm FDR is holding FDR's son? This was an heroic performance for the benefit of public image. We all knew that FDR had had polio at the time, and as a child I contributed to building a swimming pool for him. Later Nixon had it taken out.

The intimacy, casual movements, and stunning clear bright color of this is nothing short of amazing. Wish FDR himself were a little clearer, but still a great historical find.
