Home Movie: 97405: Detroit (1938)

★★★★ · Felix The Cat, the wonderful wonderful cat! · Spuzz · 2015-10-17

There's a whole bunch of scenes in this, highlights include gas station frolics (the filmmaker may have owned the station from the looks of it), a baseball game (Detroit Tigers?), a commencement ceremony, and fishing. Nicely shot, with a great 30s feel. Oh! And there's a bizarrely placed Felix the cat segment in there too!

★★★★ · "It's a movie camera...You can move around!" · JayKay49 · 2014-12-09

In the early days of movie cameras some people (older ones especially) had to be convinced that standing still for the camera was not necessary, and, in fact you're supposed to move around. There are some shots of that here. And then, there are the hams, who got the message. Very good quality considering the age of this film.
