- I was given a 400ft 8mm home movie reel about 15-20 years ago that was simply dropped off for me. The guy had no idea what was on it, or whose it was. It got lost in my piles of random stuff and I discovered it again and decided what the heck, we'll just do a quick transfer to digital and see what's on this. Turns out to be a lot of someone's short home movie reels spliced together. Bunch of it in California, and I'm assuming some from Minnesota since that's where I am, and where I got the film. Lots of fun, raw, real, 1950's American life on here. Not a bunch of fancy edited fake stuff. I could have cut some of the blurry and badly shot scenes but didn't want to lose the magic of real home movies! If you happen to know these people let me know! Oh, and for fun I added a soundtrack of authentic 1950's background music.
I was a kid about when these were shot and these scenes could be anyplace USA. The fashions, cars, railroad pics all look familiar. They remind me of what we all were at one long ago time. Thanx for posting!
Yep, I'm 72 and being a kid in the 50s was awesome...so many treasured memories of a simpler time!
Watching those who have passed...
Hey, that's me! Just kidding, but it sure looks familiar. 3:52 We had that *_exact_* green and yellow swingset and red slide. I suspect it came from Sears.
Lol😅
Thank You !!!!! looks like my childhood !
0:19 - Nash Rambler Country Club ... 1:12 - 1951ish Nash Statesman or Ambassador. Must've been a Nash family.
Playing my daily theme song.
2:55 is the Los Angeles LDS Temple.
Some of it was in far northern California but a lot of it was in Itasca, IL.
Actually, Itasca County Minnesota. Note the Minnesota license plates and the reference on a parade car to 4th of July celebration in Coleraine, which is in Itasca County, Minnesota.
What is the name of that song ?
California!
Thanks, I have a lot of these of my extended family that go way back. Maybe someone will recognize someone on this one.
This family seems to be very happy.....the women, too. I lived during the 60s, just after this decade, and things were very different. Better, i think. At least where i was, men and women appreciated each other and worked together and didn't devalue the other's work. People learned how to do things, too, which of practical help in life.
Born in 48, this was a much better time to live in, better than today. We had family values, a much stronger Nation, not the Third World Nation we are heading for. Thank God I'm old, would hate to be a kid today!
1950s were the peak of the American dream, every decade afterward would see more Culture rot (divorce, dollar devaluation, more rights to criminals, less rights to citizens, etc.,); we are on a downward cycle.. All Nations decline and the USA is on the decline..
Things were FAR from perfect in the 50's. Alcoholism, early mortality, legally segregated society, mandatory military service, unsafe cars, polio, etc, etc, etc. But hey these old grainy movies sure are pretty.
The Bible speaks of this!
@@fosbury68 ......and today......Alcoholism, drugs and crime everywhere, obesity and diabetes everywhere, the most polarized society ever, unsafe food, scammers everywhere........disease and sickness everywhere....yeah things are way better today.
I can splain it to you Lucy but I doan haff no time now. Gotta git down ta the club.
Fewer rights. “ Less” is an indefinite quantitative determiner used for uncountable nouns like rain, coffee, happiness, money.
Back then people smiled for the camera and now they charge after you even if you are just recording a park with nobody in it.
Look at our streets 👳🏻♂️💩🇵🇸
