Golden Gate Bridge Opening (1936)

1936 · Ephemeral film · 4 min

Synopsis

Assorted scenes taken on opening day / cars in line / coming across the bridge / ships of the fleet passing under / airplanes / long shots of the bridge worth noting: many shots of the Golden Gate Bridge with ships going under it. • 1:52:45- Interesting shot of Model-T type cars waiting to get onto the Golden Gate bridge. People wave at them as they drive slowly by. • 2:08:50- 2:28:22 Cars come onto the bridge. A bicycle is in the forefront, and we se Marin behind them. • 3:08:65- 3:19:35 Good image of people walking across the G.G. bridge, but it's either foggy or the film is just old and tired because it's difficult to see the bridge.
