Amazing home videos of guys, gals, and families from the 1930s. These videos bring to life the still photos from my own family. All of the clips are extremely entertaining and well done for the age. The videography is excellent, and the digitizing is bright and easily view-able. The people, horses, teams, wagons, cars, scenery, clothes, and particularly the bathing suits are an absolute scream. The "Wedding in the Woods" is hysterically funny. Thank you for making this video compilation and making it available. Simply great!

Fun film, that indeed chronicles people getting together and having a good time. We start out dancing, then we go into the forest for a get together there, a mock wedding, the beach, and then someone's outdoor pool (in the 30s!). These people definitely had SOME money, not a lot, but comfortable enough to make smooth looking titles and some nifty effects.
