Home Movies: Niagara Falls, Home Scenes, Birthday Party

★★★★ · No Tootin' for you! · Spuzz · 2012-06-02

Fun reel here as we start with Niagara Falls and people visiting it via a scary looking skyride and at a viewing platform, then we get some kid shots, and then we have the son's (I think) Birthday party, I think Daughter gets a gift too so she doesnt get left out? He gets a TRUMPET! A toy trumpet it looks like, and it also appears to not work. Grrrrrrr. After that, it's various crowd shots with Mom, Dad, Son and Daughter with various people. They seem like a swell famiiy :)

Historical Note on the Niagara Falls portion of the film · SoftWally · 2023-07-15

I could be wrong, but I believe this film contains footage of Terrapin Rocks on the American side before they were eliminated in 1954. Well, an update to my "review" 5 years ago. This is clearly not what I thought it was. Sorry about that. The shot I reference from this film is actually from Prospect Point and shows the American Falls. A huge chuck of Prospect Point collapsed into the gorge in 1955 I think it was. It's likely from this vantage point that the movie was taken.
