Absolutely hypnotic views of the New York Worlds Fair. Ill admit, after seeing something like Panama By Air, and being totally bored by this, I was somewhat wary about watching this. But once this thing started going, it was totally absorbing! Crystal clear shots of the expo, and of Yankee stadium. Not a scratch, no fading, nothing! The other neat thing about this, is the camera work. The camera does some nice close ups, pull outs, and its absolutely spellbinding. This is a MUST SEE on this site!

Yes , these are views of Flushing Meadows, Queens, at the worlds fair site. As all New Yorkers know this is where Shea Stadium is located and this film actually does show the Mets playing a National League opponent. This brings back memories of NY in one of it's amusement park heydays. There was Freedomland in the Bronx, Coney island in Brooklyn and the Worlds Fair going on simultaneously at one point in time. The three largest ever in the city. Great and rare historical footage.
