Before we get to the film subject itself, the topic of AB rolls is new to me, but I highly doubt that home movies had AB rolls. This is a silent AB roll, with black patches. Plus there's some tracking shots, which I don't think home movie people (save for the 9 states guy :) ) had access to or didn't bother to employ. Having said that, this film is WONDERFUL. Really beautiful shots of the Atlantic City Boardwalk and the many attractions are all on display here.. Skeeball! Bingo! Candy Apples! Burlesque! Mutiny On The Bounty! It's all great! Highly reccomended!
