Long Ago And Far Away

 

Travel through London, Paris, Ostend, Bruges, Berlin (thankfully no Nazi flags), and Lucerne in 1936.  In one shot, the film on the London marquee is for a Francis Lederer picture, "One Rainy Afternoon," released in 1936, which helps us date these home movies.

Whenever I see either pictures or movies from times gone by, the first thing that strikes me is you don’t see a lot of overweight people. Walking and bicycling everywhere does that for you.

Years ago at an airport in Brazil my work companion from England asked what looked different from US airports? His answer, people so obese they needed a cart or wheelchair to get to their gate. Fair point.
