★★★★ · Relaxing film · Visual16 · 2008-02-25

A well-made mid 60's classroom film about San Francisco. Shows the development and landmarks, the Presidio, the cable cars, and other points of interest against a backdrop of pretty music and clear narration. There's some loud foghorns at the start of the film, but after that it gets increasingly mellow. One of my favorites in the Archive.

★★★★ · Great little film · gladys8it2 · 2008-04-19

A very entertaining film. I enjoyed the images of San Francisco of yesterday.
