The pilot's name is Prince Sisowat Chivorn Monirak, the little kid was Prince Norindrapong, the only brother of present King Sihakmoni (son of Sihanouk and then princess Monique). I went to see the movie when I was in High school, they speak mostly French. Prince Chivorn Monirak also played in The Killing Field as Khmer rouge village chief who gave his son to Dith Pran to take care of.
@ballm0use the movie its from is also in khmer, its just that the version i have is dubbed in french. the movie is called apsara also featuring a small part where sinsisamouth appear in it which i also uploaded
not a criticism, but for any one who knows Phnom Penh intimately, the film shows the car driving in all directions of the compass. i guess Samdech only wanted to showcase the city to the outside world.
Phnom Penn had a population of around 50,000 in 1965; ten years later it had increased to around 2 million due to refugees escaping war and bombing in the countryside. Very nostaligic clip, nice clean looking urban area.
So peaceful if Cambodia wasn't have wars maybe Cambodia can competition other countries in the world but nowadays Cambodia is a poorest country in the world I'm really sad for those wars happen on Cambodia
Great to see this old french comitment to investment in Cambodia. What a pitty it was distroyed. Cambodian people can still be found living outside of the capital, that is now 80 percent vietcong. I had the most wonderful experience riding my bike through the jungle mountain, back water of Cambodia and living with beautiful memories from that experience in 2009. See my clips nigel walker on TH-cam. Khmar villages sleeping in nature lone rider.
In 1955_1970 Cambodia is progressed but The war 1970_1993 destroyed my country I hats war especially civil war two brother kill each other I wish Khmer no civil war again .
i agree, the title is wrong - this is Phnom Penh in 1965 not 1955. The proof is in the Mig 17 jet figther planes which were gifted to Camboda around that time.
I wish khmer never go through Khmer Rouge. I bet if we haven't been through Khmer Rouge we would have been one of the most powerful country in South East asia. But ever since the khmer rouge khmer have been improve dramatically. i love khmer.
@MrSopheapsem Sihanouk is a traitor who supported the North Vietnamese Army and the National Front Liberation of South Vietnam. That is why Khmer Rouge started. I say this as a proud American Vietnamese
The country looked clean back then because of less traffic, now too many moto. Seem like the gov't could afford more things then, now mostly from donation. How sad.
Yes Harry8292, I like your comment, I never see Any King made movie Y don't he made movie instead made the country fall to the jail without wall ..good person he kill. God his wife his son all play movie. Yes@Burntice745 Phnom Penh was look very good before. but many people now say Phnom penh now very development.How do u think? .
One country can be rich depend the behaviour of the leader. Why Thailand was always rich than Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia et Birman ? Because their leader was always spend the time to crated job, to export their local product…Look the Cambodian leader, thinking to ask the foreigner help , to earn money herself to accept Taiwan put the nuclear waste in the country…How Cambodia can be rich ???
Tan L K Thailand is developed country not rich country, I just can't understand why you like to compare country hundreds year of peace with country full of war ?
Tan L K you are fucking stupid you never know human are very important for develop country you can't blame only the leader , Khmer Rouge are destroy everything kill Khmer people, , , how hard to build country from ghost country,
The North Vietnamese Army and the National Front Liberation of South Vietnam.went into war with South Vietnam outside Khmer Teritory But We Khmer People lived in peace at that time Lon Nol is a traitor who supported the U S and the War began in Cambodia

The film called Apsara and produced by King Sihanouk. Most people in the film was either related to the king or a high ranking officer.
