Budapest circa 1970

As RK-vb1el said, the streetcar line on the bridge is already out of service (1973), but at 1:20 you can still see the tracks. These were removed in the summer of 1975. At 5:22 you can see the construction site of an ugly office building at Szent István Square, which was completed in 1974. So the footage is most likely from 1973.

This footage must have been made after 1972. Trams were running along Rákoczi street, crossing Erzsébet bridge until December 31, 1972 and there's no sign of them in this film.

I would say this is a 1973 and/or 1974 footage shot on Super 8mm B&W reversal film. My bet is for 1974. Definitely nothing to do with 1970. As for the color footage, based on its colors and granulation, I would say GDR ORWOCOLOR or USSR SOCHICOLOR Super 8 reversal stock.

2:18 to 4:20 in Black & White and also staring at 6:22 in color -- Dunapark Étterem Restaurant, 13th district, Szent István Park & Pozsonyi út. It's still there, looking pretty much the same outside and inside.

Lake Balaton trip: M7 motorway at Budaörs, Szántód ferry station on the south shore, City of Tihany with the chuch/monastery on the north shore.

Nagyon jó ritkaság!

Ez biztos nem 1970., mert akkor még járt a villamos az Erzsébet hídon.

Ráadásul az algút még nincs kész.1973,74-es

[@Akos64]

the shooting was made definitely between 1975 -1978. The dating is based on the lack of tram rails (removed in 1973) and in the film i noted car platenumbers with UF letters which series came out in the later 70s, but the Pest bridg-head still has not received the traffic tunnel buit in 1978. So the periode I guess is 1975- 1977

At 4:15 is the Pepsi logo on the back wall?

[@balazs8330]

Did the regime block TV and radio from Vienna?

[@youngcali177]

They blocked (or distorted) Free Europe and America's Voice radio stations, both were Hungarian language broadcasts. Many people who spoke German, listened to the Vienna radio, but partly to listen to the news and mainly due to its high-quality classical music programs.
