A small trip down memory lane using vintage footage of the city of Angels in the late 40s - early 50s with some Miles Davis music as backdrop culminating in the red witch hunt of the era trying to convey a period feel (J. Edgar Hoover and Bertolt Brecht can be seen testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee), enjoy.

@YepStillOutThere the description does read "footage of the city of Angels in the late 40s - early 50s"

@evxdaddy LOL you made no sense what so ever and your argument that, all "we" want to do is destroy it by winning the day, is completely baseless and irrelevant. What the hell are you trying to say?!!!

@evxdaddy WINNING!!

Wow! that looked like heaven compared to now. I'm now finally jealous of the old timers I see. But I still haven't given up on loving L.A!

L.A Confidential.

I love how parts of this show the "big red cars"
-
There are 1951 cars shown so the scenes are not "late '40s".

Just amazing! Loved every minute of this. Thank you so much for sharing. God those were the days people loved to live in America now people always talking so negatively sure things are bad now, but love this country people. In the 40's people were proud to be AMERICAN. Now we all just want to destroy it by wining all day.
