Home Movie: 97066: Odds and Ends (1955)

★★★★ · Whee! rrrrr SMASH · Spuzz · 2015-01-02

Interesting beginning, as there's ANOTHER train derailment, some family activities, a car crash, some more family activities, and then ANOTHER car crash! Not too sure whether this person was an insurance investigator or what, but it sure added an odd tone to the beginning of the movie! Oh, the movie settles down after that, showing activities such as ski jumping, playing with the dog, weddings, skiing, and other family stuff.

★★★ · Train crash, skiing, domestic scenes · cruelembroidery · 2013-10-23

Begins with digging out a crashed train. Ranch visit with a horse and dog. Skiing, including a high jump and regular downhill family members. A child unsuccessfully tries to jump rope. Wedding scenes. A little dark and high-contrast, but some quality scenes.

Nearly all of this film is so underexposed as to be unviewable. Too bad, old home movies can be fascinating.
