99% of the men were wearing straw boaters.

I really enjoyed watching that. It was the first film of that sort of era where people actually seemed like us.

Correcting the speed of the film makes an incredible difference compare to how they usually appear.

A similar effect to seeing Kodachrome photos from the 40's and 50's, more "real" than even colour Hollywood film from that era.

Have a search of the British Pathé website.
