Amazing...so glad this exists. Any chance of seeing a higher resolution transfer? This seems to be roughly half the resolutions it should be if it was shot in Cinemascope.

There's a higher resolution (.MOV) file at archive.org, where this came from. Search there for Tullio Pellegrini and you'll find it.

Wow, did you know that the sea lions were really at the cliff house's seal rocks (7:07)? And that were was a skytram (7:10)? And what about playland (7:15)? See the view from twin peaks at (15:49). (17:27) - the green union square. At (20:20) he's goin pretty fast down lombard street!

A fabulous film, bringing back memories of Playland at the Beach, how it was Dairyland atop of Twin Peaks and that the population count hasn't really changed that much. During a typical business day, our population doubles as people come to work, shop and enjoy both the natural wonders and excellent museums and wonders the City has to offer. Thank you!
