Look at the traffic over the Bay Bridge in the last 20 seconds of this video. That's how I recall it from the early 70's. The area(s) west of Golden Gate park, way out in the avenues, are otherworldly, reminiscent of the Monterey area and I am sure induced hundreds of thousands of folks to move to SF over the years.....5:00 to 6:30. Wow! Some of those areas made the city look like a giant botanical gardens. A fair amount of that cityscape remains today.

I like the last two shots of the Bay Bridge at night (well dusk here). It was much more simple. Now it's all lit up with "necklace lighting" along the cables and this kaleidoscope of light shimmering on the suspension strands. I think it's overdone. Back in the day, at night, the bridge was somewhat dark but still noticeable and imposing in the natural light. And I liked the way the red lights on top of the towers used to light up in "formation" from west to east. One after the other. After the last red light lit and went out on the eastern most tower, a short pause, and then the sequence started again, as you can see in the video. It was simple, but still striking. Now, it seems more of a spectacle . It's just another example of how much the city has changed. The old charm is gone. Thank goodness they didn't turn the Golden Gate Bridge into a Christmas tree at night!

The first past of this film is between mid-March and early June 1948 on Market and Sixth Street. We know that from the streetcar marked for the temporary 32-line, which ran for only those three months. The scenes at the Ferry Building appear to be the late 1930s, after the bridge opened but before most streetcars moved to the Bridge terminal in 1939. The last long scene leaving Sutro Baths and ending on the unopened Embarcadero Freeway is from the 1957 film "The Lineup".

The Market Street view with four trolley tracks would place the sometime before 1945. Muni took over the Market Street Railway after an election and began removing the outer rails late in 1944. A consolidation of trolley lines began shortly after the takeover and most trolley lines were gone by late 1948.
@alta9dena2 жыл бұрын
I think the Market Street scenes were filmed in early 1948 because a cinema appears to be showing a Bette Davis film Winter Meeting , which was released April 7, 1948. There seem to be far too many cars about for this to be a wartime scene. Later scenes showing cars climbing a steep hill, appear to be much earlier, like late 20's/ early 30's, since none of the parked cars are streamlined.

@@suppylarue220 My recollections are from the 1970's in Western Australia 🇦🇺, but by the mid 1980's, we Aussies had very high mortgage interest rates of 17% or 18% which was pretty overwhelming for average families, even though the size of the mortgages were laughably small (by today's standards) of around $A30,000 to $A35,000. I finally had the opportunity to sell my house and build a steel-framed "kit home" which took me 4 years by means of an _owner-builder's_ permit, and living on-site in a caravan/shed arrangement, allowable in those days on Semi-Rural zoned properties. Such flexible local-government rules were quite common at that time, and many adventurous folk throughout Australia were able to get rid of their mortgages for the remainder of their lives . . . what a paradise! 😁😃🤩. It was a difficult process, but a fascinating learning curve, and quite within the means of an average fit bloke and his family who may never have done much more than build a kid's cubby house prior to the home-build. Definitely worth a try, even in today's world, if the local government regulations allow. I see on KZbin that many young people (men and women) are building trailer homes and _tiny homes_ around the world, so a "kit home" is the next logical step up in the size and complexity of the tasks involved.

First part is April/May 1948, Bette Davis starring in "Winter Meeting" (released 7 April). It was a flop, so likely didn't play there into May. Humphrey Bogart in "Sahara" (1943) across the street, not sure why they'd be running an old film but there were a lot of revival houses back then. "Fort Apache" released at the end of March '48 is also playing down the street, so I'll place this first section in mid-April '48, especially considering how warmly everyone is dressed.

Strange, no homeless people and no tents at the streets.

No, because people were prospering after the war and the Great Depression. I’m betting at that time there were homeless. And I guarantee you that not everyone in the city had a place to live. They also used to have cheap rooms that you could rent overnight, like those YMCA rooms advertised at 07:30. they don’t have that anymore because of zoning laws, etc.

The first clips of downtown San Francisco were definitely taken in the second quarter of 1948.

Os Estados Unidos foi um País magnifico que agora está em decadência porque sofre muito com a inveja e por isso está sofrendo com a invasão bárbara. Os EUA está passando pela mesma história por qual já passou Roma. O tempo passa, mas no relógio as horas se repetem.

Os Países são como pessoas, quando são alvos de muitas invejas, acabam decaindo, fazendo muitas coisas erradas, tomando decisões inacertadas e, se amolecerem, correm o risco de serem engolidas.

The police cars in the video are at the intersection of Folsom and Fremont streets. Which is weird because that scene is from the 1958 movie the Up Line. It looks like a dry run from the movie. Great video thanks!!.
