This film is a 1948 release.
Regarding the Cultural Center, I believe that opened about 1977. The library moved to an old warehouse called the Mandel Building that stood about where the NBC Tower is now. When the owners decided to raze it they moved over near the Merchandise Mart.

@dmnddog74 actually, I can see your point. There was a time in the 70's and 80's when it was not so beautiful. Thanks for your comment.

@califgirl11 Actually, I think it looks quite dreary and dirty compared to the way it is now. A lot of the buildings in the film are covered in soot from industry, coal heating and railroads. If you look at those buildings now, they are much cleaner, and many have been restored. Chicago is much more beautiful now.

Still known as the Field Museum! Not "formerly"! Chicago is still beautiful and STILL clean, especially when compared to other cities of similar and larger size (*cough* New York *cough*) What really strikes me is all of the open space. The skyline had yet to be filled with skyscrapers.

look how beautiful and clean. I have relatives in Chicago, and love to visit, but you have to be very careful.
