[@patton303]

I was born in AC. I left when I went to college. I miss the old days so much. Today it’s heartbreaking to see my old town become such a slum.

When women wore fur coats and lovely hats Men wore dress suits....they went to a movie on the boardwalk. A special occasion. enjoying Judy Garland movies Eating Fralinger salt water taffy.,going on the rides of the Ferris Wheel horses...Always reaching up making a wish while riding your favorite horse. Atlantic City boardwalk was a safe place to enjoy. Anna Penrod 😎

These buildings look like they are straight out of Europe and have been here for much longer than we are told

[@CaptainHowdy3]

Can you please elaborate

This was when America was great. Great fashion, great transportation (You could travel the country by private automobile, train, airplane, streetcar) People had morals and values, and cities were still great, and we had suburbs that didn’t become the cities. Notice how from the aerial view, Atlantic City looked dense but nice, like the majority of American cities. Beautiful architecture too, and beautiful people.

This film was released in 1950, as footage from the September 1949 MIss America pageant is seen at 17:32, when Jacque Mercer, "Miss Arizona" [17:24], was crowned "Miss America 1949". Footage of Charles "Buddy" Rogers' name on the marquee during his engagement at the Steel Pier in July 1950 is seen at 6:44.

Wow my Grandparents had a rooming house. 5 floors on Oriental ave. I grew up in the 60s.. A.C. Was such a great place the smell of the salt air the sand on the boards as u walk up to the b.walk anything you wanted or needed. Coolest rides etc!!buses from pleasantville to AC was 35 cents.. What a time!!

[@miz_logo_lee]

I genuinely watched this to see if my dad was in this. He’d have been a photogenic, shortish, blond teenage lifeguard who’s family was in the hospitality industry. He’d also certainly have been at that Miss America parade crowd.

at 18:08 that tall building is still standing. The claridge Hotel

Ah… the good ol days

[@patboyce5458]

A wonderful film makes me wonder how we lost all the greatness and ended up with such a dirty shit hole of a city.

[@markmiller9579]

I agree. It's sad what's happened to AC since those glory days, when tourists flocked there for the simple pleasures of sun, beach and boardwalk. Now, it's mostly to gamble, which hasn't done much if anything to revive a once thriving place that people of a certain age remember and lament over this once grand lady of the Jersey Shore.

[@Robbie-sk6vc]

Can thank corrupt city fathers for that!

Castle films sold an edited one reel version of this film in black and white, in the 1950's for the home market.

[@larrywilliams6069]

I love these post war films labeled the 40,s. But many of them turn out to be 50,s. Thats fine, but I wonder why the films have that in common.

Wow would love to know where the residential area was located I paused the video to try and read the street signs but wasn’t able to read them they were to blurry.

Oh yea my Grandfather was a detective back then! ❤

[@johnknowles6711]

The narrator sounds familiar. I believe he's done other promotional videos. We'll, it's still NJ's #1 tourist destination, as far as I know. Definitely not all peaches and cream, but sadly that's how it is pretty much everywhere, isn't it? DO AC!

Before it became a ghetto

[@Enr227]

Nobody is smoking in this but everyone smoked. Interesting

[@sunshineimperials1600]

People smoked for relaxation and for social lubricant. However, Atlantic City back then certainly provided relaxation and the beach was the place to be.

Atlantic City was a gorgeous place at one time. Now the Babylonians took it over and destroyed it!

Not 1940 - more like 1960.

[@ravilcn]

No it's 1940. Just look at the cars. By 1960 it was turning into a dump anyway.

[@gottaproxy8826]

@@ravilcn it is objectively not 1940 in this video. The model T was in production until 1927, there would be atleast 5-10 still parked around.

[@gottaproxy8826]

@@ravilcn first color film I can think of is was created in 1935. This footage quality is simply too good to be consumer/commercial grade cameras in 1940. Unless this film was produced with military hardware.
