One wonders how exciting this could have been without the soundtrack, because as it stands now, this footage with important top-hateed dignitaries opening the great fair is nothing really. Only thing to look at is of course, the gorgeous color, and how bored the women look lol. I'm sure though, that with the soundtrack added, it wouldn't have improved ;)
