extremely old color movie.... so cool!
I couldn't resist posting this video of the Thames River in London in 1935! The film is an early color video; it used Gasparcolor, which is a very rare and old way of adding color to film. You can read a very detailed and admiring article about Gasparcolor here.
I find old color pictures and videos like this very intriguing, because one seldom gets a glimpse of the reality of life back then... it's like a visual history lesson. If you are into stuff like this too, be sure to check out this old post about autochrome pictures.
