Fascinating on many levels. The biggest surprise is seeing the streamline buildings painted bold colors. I had always imagined they were white. I wish we could have gotten a look inside the exhibits. The overheated narration provides moments of unintended comedy, like when the narrator effuses about excited visitors cavorting in gay costumes while the visual shows a sea of weary men in suits slogging around. I was blindsided when the travelogue turned into a Plymouth ad. I should have been warned by the extra screen time given to the Chrysler pavilion–amusingly, the only building shown that didn’t have a crowd of people out front. This film is a rare treat. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
