A color-tinted silent film of London circa 1927
Look for "bright young things" and fresh memories of the Great War.

Wow... I love things like this. I'm the type of weird person who will walk through graveyards, taking note of names and dates, and wondering what kind of lives the people led. A video like this is right along the same lines. I can't help but pick people out of the crowd and wonder what happened to them. They were just living their lives, and were caught on camera for a moment. The great majority are probably long dead now. I loved the cricket match! What a different world. Those days seem fresher and more full of life than the ones we live in now.
