1950s Fairmont Miramar Hotel, With Fashion Parade Watched by the Stars, Santa Monica 1951, F928b

Some rare footage of the iconic Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows from 1950/51. In the middle of the last century many stars stayed at this beach front hotel...then just the Miramar I think.
This amateur film was made by a couple staying in one of the on site bungalows. It gives a fly on the wall picture of poolside life back in the day. And there is a fashion parade watched by stars such as Helliwell Hobbes, Jack Holt, and Una Merkel. The film ends with a drivers point of view of the couple leaving to go into uptown LA on what was then Willshire Blvd (I think West Adams Blvd today).
A glimpse at how the other half lived in the last mid century.
This is digitised frame by frame from the original 16mm Kodachrome stock, at 2048*1152 resolution.
The camera person was Louis Epstein (who passed away a couple of years later in 1953).
