★★★ · Niagara Falls-yes. Lake Michigan -no · TracyJames · 2021-11-26

Nice camera work, steady (esp.on the small boat in the Detroit River. Great shots of the (long gone) Detroit skyline. What is supposed to be Lake Michigan is probably Snug Harbor in Toronto Ontario, along Lake Erie. The film looks like late '50s early '60s (Ford Falcon). The people I think are Canadian because of the way the speak :-)
