How awesome was this!? I grew up in Saint Louis being born in 1965 so I remember seeing all these buildings! Very interesting buildings and city our saint Louis! It always made me so sad when so many of those beautiful big houses became apartments and the renters trashed them! Now, ive seen a few being bought and restored to their former glory! Thanks for showing this! Really brought back memories!❤

Love the part about the deMenil mansion. The highway department got much of the property, but the landmarks association guy was right that the building could be repurposed for special events. We got married on the patio in 2002.

Interesting fact, St. Louis used to be the Capitol of the United States before New York was given the honor back in 1957. Our ancestors arrived here way back in 1121 and facing strong opposition from the native mega fauna i.e. pterodactyls and the mini gnomes they had to fight for their right to party.

I remember watching this on channel 9 in st. Louis

Im only 2 minutes in and already the way he talks about destroying the historic architecture is making me sick... it was a criminal tragedy what they did to our cities in the 1950s, 60s and 1970s.... what a loss....

Very cool! I came back to St Louis in 1970 At that time so many of the neighborhoods were in shambles but in the 1980's the renovations began here as it did across the country. Union Station, Wainwright Building The Old Post Office Fox Theater and many of the neighborhoods Lafayette Square, Soulard and even until today renovations are happening. St Louis is rich with unique architecture. So many beautiful buildings. Nothing today compares to beauty of the old! In 1970 I understood St Louis to have been the 10th largest city in population in the country but has declined radically until today. The North Grand Water tower featured in this movie reel is no longer as it was then. So much blight and decay and different types of residents live there now. The Gateway Arch, as was mentioned in this reel was not even completed That was still a few years away. my grandpa helped make the stainless steel for the Arch so it was personal for him, Thank you for posting this nice movie reel!

Bedazzled was much better sorry no disrespect I wanted to enjoy this yet burton came off a bit stiff

Watched Faust and burton was quite rightly obsessed with Marlowe classic so I’m glad to see this

Thankyou for sharing

Hammersmith Is Out is a 1972 American comedy-drama film based on the legend of Faust. It is directed by Peter Ustinov, who stars in the film alongside Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Beau Bridges

This movie is a disgrace, impossible to get thru it, biggest bomb of Burton's career

R.I.P. Robert Conrad

Such a treasure. The city and the video.

Just ends in the middle of a conversation during the game

I’ll bet you people highschool yearbook picture are chip from the ol’ block. Embarrassing

Thanks for sharing this!

William, also of course was Patty Duke's dad on The Patty Duke show and a character on get Smart

Thanks for sharing

I would rent this FILM FROM THE ST.LOUIS PUBLIC FILM LIBRARY, DOWNTOWN, when I was 10 yrs old about 1965 BEFORE IT WAS USED IN SCHOOLS , 35 MILLIMETER FILM AUDIO VISUAL

...before Republicans trolled the earth.

I saw part of this movie when it was shown on TV in 1985. At that time, a personal computer in everyone’s house was still a foreign concept because computers in 1985 were still regarded as toys and novelty items and weren’t hooked up to the internet. I wonder if this TV movie was meant to be a pilot for a television program that wasn’t picked up.

I remember seeing the promo for this kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6jXl5aqpLx5h6csi=dBZz8vsoErpvCpsu This was when I was still on this TRON high--a man in an electric looking suit. I was 10 years old when this movie came out, and a few years before there was “Automan”, a TRON like TV show that I watched too. Not gonna lie, I was disappointed with this TV movie. Hardly had anything to do with what I thought then was a cool looking suit and it didn’t even light up bright enough. Totally bummed.

That was built before the Great flood.

The landlords seemed like they were decent people who would probably be a bit more understanding if you just talked to them. The lady screaming to get off her property is next level crappy

⚜ I came here, to see George Masters. I knew him, you understand. I knew him. He was a friend. He was a very charming friend. Blessings to you, my friend. Blessings to you for all of time. I love you. ~James🛡

2:29 best jump-scare ever

So its a tool box drawer slide with couple of leather straps, a spring and a release mechanism. Cool. Got it.

43:40 Imagine having a "window" installed in your stomach for ten years which allowed people to see the inner workings of your intestines...

INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for posting this historically significant event!

And then he preaches he has a fear for war? They are the warmongers.

The only single fucking reason St. Louis exist is because of Germans. Austrians. Austrian economics. Capitalism. Free speech. Live the way you fucking want to. Free religion. whoever the fuck produced this bullshit is some sort of fucking asshole dumb fuck taking everything out of fucking context, as if the French and Democrats are sophisticated. Meanwhile, they didn't build a single fucking thing ever. They never put out a fire. They never did a goddamn thing. Where is the video of the millions of French bricklayers that created the city?. It's because it doesn't exist. Germans are the best fucking motherfuckers on the fucking planet. French people all they can do is cook and complain. They are the cons in the stand and we are the man in the arena like Roosevelt talked about.. we are the man in the rude yard Kipling poem, if. This fucking asshole or whoever's narrating I don't know who the fuck is in charge of this, but they're obviously communist French pole smokers

The dude with a French accent, says his friends fear for their slaves. He's a Democrat communist French pole smoker.

what is this fucking bullshit as if French people made this amazing place prior to James Eads in the bridge? These motherfuckers have some fake Borat dude. Doing a fake French accent or some sort of douche democrat liberal imitation like Kamala Harris accent as if they're French or something. All of this content is wonderful. The problem is the stupid, fucking idiots that are presenting it and lying about it in every single fucking way. as if Germans build sloppy houses? Jerry's don't build sloppy anything. The entire city was built by Germans in this fucking awesome great German bricklaying German German German German everything. What kind of fucking lies you fuck shows telling. The French did not fucking build this. The Germans did.

none of this fucking shit was in 1859? Absolutely fucking none of it? yeah, the dude just keep saying 1859… None of this was in 1859. It was much later. Every single picture you're seeing it's all in the 1900s or very close to the turn of the century.

1859. Seaport of the west is not jive with the building of the Eads bridge. Human beings couldn't even get across the river until the bridge. unless it was a fairy. So this is sort of all the contacts in mixed.

I don't understand. The Eades bridge wasn't completed until 1864. Is this entire video about East St. Louis in Illinois. Illinois Town. And then these folks out of context took pictures they were way after the 1870s that had the courthouse? St Louis basically did not exist until Jim Eades and his guarantee that he could build a fucking bridge. yes, JP Morgan threw some money on top of Andrew Carnegie's absolute gamble, but Andrew Carnegie was completely right and so was Jim Eades. James Eades. All after the Bridge?

That fair footage is priceless.

They look much more natural than they do now at least from what I'v seen.

The Cardinals should have been world champions that year. They were robbed

The performer who did Bette Davis started out SO strong. You knew who she was before she opened her mouth. It was a great concept to do a Davis impersonation over the Bette Davis Eyes track while prowling the stage - and she nailed her voice and way of moving. But then….to sit at a table & start pulling things out of a bag and then take off hair & makeup. Especially so soon after her entrance. What a bewildering, deflating choice. Deconstructing drag I guess?

Will forever be my favorite Cardinals' team. And it won't even be close.

It warms my heart to watch this. Please upload whatever classic Cardinal clips that you have.

That was so fun to watch! Does anyone know what the winner signed at the end? It looked like he/she was signing 'I love you' and maybe spelled someone's name. Didn't expect that!

20:27 Id give anything to go back to the peak hay day of the steam boats to just sit and watch the madness on the river front for a day.

And 40 years later, this becomes high camp!

America is doomed.
