| Description: | Tape 7553 B Same as catalog # 492995 New York (incl lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building) from above in 1932, shot from different altitudes - including the highest ever aerials of the city according to the v/o. American commentator but French opening title (trans:" Here is the view that the immense city with its sky-scrapers presents when one contemplates the city from a dirigible flying over at 5000 meters above ground. " ) Aerial flying over the Hudson River looking toward city. Air-to-air shot looking down at small plane flying over city. View flying round southern tip of Manhattan looking at it. Closer higher-angle shots of buildings of lower manhattan. Then over Statue of Liberty. Air-to-air shots of the small airplane as both it and camera craft fly higher and higher, above some wispy clouds, so that the city below looks like it does laid out on a map. The commentator raves about the "beautiful sight that few have the opportunity to ever see. Here, 4 miles from Mother Earth, this is the first time motion pictures of New York have been made from this altitude!" Air to air moving downward at fast rate with small plane ("more than a mile a minute!") closer snd closer to the city streets...."right toward the world's tallest building!" Ends with brief shot flying just above the Empire State Building. | |
