8 minute film from 1924, part of the "Wonderful London" series produced by Graham Wilcox Films and directed by Harry B Parkinson & Frank Miller. Released in 2012 on a BFI dvd with 12 of these films (apparently there were 20+ altogether). Can't find it on youtube, but this should work instead. This has been the film with the most street sequences so far - loads of buses and taxis where I've only picked out the best. But also a very strong impression how rare normal vehicles are in comparison, alongside still lots of horse carts. Very few people seem to own ordinary small/medium cars - most private cars were big wealthy stuff. |
