AC in 1927

[Menantico]

As an history teacher, I'm fascinated by these colorized, voiceover-dubbed films from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I find WWI as one of our most important modern events in human history, so when the movie "They Shall Not Grow Old" (which had these effects) arrived in selected theaters, I made sure I attended. YouTube suggested this attached clip to me and I thought I'd share. At around 0:57 seconds, there is a brief 15 second clip of young people in 1927 in Atlantic City. The rest of the video is fascinating as well.

I actually just watched this yesterday. I guess it's making the rounds through the recommendation algorithm. Neat video, the sound editing adds a lot to it.

The guy at the beginning wearing a full suit at the beach in Florida - just wow. Hard to imagine such a time.

After looking at the European beaches (and experiencing them first hand), it absolutely gives you an appreciation for the Jersey Shore.

Certainly the best on the east coast.
