Nice collection of random shots. I was afraid of the beginning, when it just appeared to be repeated shots of Churchill and FDR,,It does go away from that! We get shots of cows, milking, pigs and a movie premiere! The movie marquees shown here are insane! All silent, except for a delirious cooking bit 1/4 of the way through.
