EPIC home movie featuring the Medicuses, those of the famous World Fair Home Movie footage, now just relaxing at home and elsewhere. Highlights include great rollerskating footage, it seemed that was THE thing to have back in the day, an NRA parade (as well as a Macy's parade later), young Phillip showing off his stamp collection... lord knows how much that would be worth today), Babe Ruth signing a ball for youug Medicus, (ditto) and a truly bizarre ending as the Medicuses dress up in full Mickey Mouse costumes. I sure hope it was for Halloween or something.#eyeswideshut
