New York in the 1920s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added 

with great pleasure! Thank you, this is so rewarding and educational!

Another outstanding NASS production!

👍🏻❤

thank you very much

The color restoration looks horrible. Way oversaturated.

@@SnoopyDoofie I totally agree. I don’t know if oversaturation is the proper term, but something in the colorization process didn’t work. Or maybe the original B/W film was not very good to begin with. Not one of Nass’s best.

Stop bloody moaning you guys and just appreciate what Nass is doing for us!

Yes, it makes me wish I could just one time travel back to this time, rent a top hat, with tux and tails doing my Fred Astaire thing, and a big sleek Duisenberg and cruise up to Harlem for the nightlife, hopping the jazz clubs along Lenox Avenue.

Thx;)

You nailed it! 😁

That ship is way too large to be the USS McDermut. It's clearly an ocean liner and the funnels are spaced out differently. It looks like Cunard Line's RMS Mauretania, which wasn't scrapped until 1935.

@@nopewait Oh really? Go back to 0:45; go to the bottom of where the Singer Building is situated. You'll see a gray ship with four funnels just as two tugboats pass in opposite directions. That is a US Navy destroyer. Besides, how many ocean liners are painted gray and have a number printed on the side??

@@jerseyoldschool You just edited your comment and changed the time stamp. The ship at 0:45 resembles the USS McDermut. The ship that is docked is an ocean liner.

It's "quiet" only because the original film is silent. The the only sounds you hear are whatever was dubbed in (added) by whomever prepped it for posting online. They made it as noisy or quiet as they wanted it to be. We have no way of knowing how noisy it really was.

Yet no soul. No outdoor markets selling organic food, bread was already sliced and packaged, no happy breastfeeding mom's in the park, too many cars everywhere etc. Everything was so sterile!!

Thank you so much😍😍

Hello, how are you doing

Hello, how are you doing?

I wouldn't describe New York City life in the 1920s as simple. It was already a booming city and a symbol of the highly industrialized and technological society the US had become. The millions of immigrants who had come from Italy, Greece and Eastern Europe were not living simple lives, but ones in which they had to work hard to keep their toehold in a new land so they and their children could prosper and make better lives than they had in Europe. The only technology by this time that was still theoretical but predicted and first being experimented with was rocketry which would one day lead to space travel (and weapons of war) and television. Radio was already big business. The mathematical theories behind atomic energy and quantum physics had already been worked out. Medicine was making great advances. Sound motion pictures would debut with the "Jazz Singer" in 1927. The very wealthy had access to the first air conditioners and refrigerators, eliminating the need to buy ice blocks for the kitchen ice box. Computers were still virtually all theory though a young company called International Business Machines was already making tabulation devices. Otherwise, by this time the 20th Century had pretty much been fleshed out, and even into this third decade of the 21st if you don't count the Internet and AI. The 1929 Stock Market Collapse was only a few years away at this point, along with the Great Depression following. The Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building would be fully constructed no later than 1930 as well.

Indeed NY was on the move !

Hello, how are you doing?

Actually, I believe that I spotted The Empire State Building at 4:59. 'Could be wrong. I wish they'd hurry up and develop the technology featured in the flick 'The 23th Floor.' THAT'D be swank!

@@truekaliban4674That building is an apartment building at the base of Fifth Avenue by the arch near NYU. It’s not the Empire State Building.

Imagine being a veteran of the American Civil War or someone who at least became a young adult while living through that time in the mid-19th Century, which was only 60 years earlier, a time more recent to people living in the 1920s than World War II is to people living now, and there were still plenty of Civil War veterans and civilians alive who lived that war in their late teens and early 20s when America was still mostly an agrarian society and now see 1920s New York -- airplanes, cars, subways, towering skyscrapers, traffic, the hustle and bustle and speed of the city. Imagine what their reaction would be compared to the 19th Century world they knew when they reached adulthood, perhaps in a terrible war they fought in, with the world they see now.

@@jody6851 My father was born in 1902, a year before Kitty Hawk, in the horse and buggy days, and lived until 1998, the Internet age. That means my dad was born closer to the life of George Washington (103 years) than to today (121 years). His mother, my grandmother, was born in 1868, just four years after the Civil War, and lived until 1964, the Space Age. Her husband, who was my dad's father and my grandfather (no "greats"), was born in 1864, during the Civil War (died 1936). Her father, my great grandfather (just one "great"), was born in April 1826 while John Quincy Adams was president and John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still alive (until July of that year). He lived until 1911, long enough to see airplanes, automobiles, and the eve of The Great War. History is really not so long ago.

$600 was much harder to come by in the 1920s when many jobs paid less than $1k per year - 1920 Occupation Income Average of all Industries $ 1407/year State and Local Government Workers $ 1164/year Public School Teacher $ 970/year Building Trades $ 1.08/hour Working week: 43.8 h. Medical/Health Services Worker $ 752/year
