About
This recently re-discovered home movie shows New York City during WWII. Although portions of the film may date to as early as 1938, most of it was shot in 1944-45. Some of the highlights include rare color footage of Times Square at night, New York harbor bustling with Liberty and Victory Ship traffic, Wall Street draped with patriotic flags, shots of the cityscape and pedestrians, trolley cars and double decker buses, and much more. (Please add comments to this video and share things that you see in the footage!) The film also includes a Rockettes show at Radio City Music Hall, a visit to Niagara Falls, and a visit to the grave of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at Hyde Park, New York.
