Colour Film Of London From 1927
An amazing historic clip has appeared on YouTube (embedded below). It shows London in colour from 1927. Things I noticed: the sky is blue, everyone wears hats and England beat Australia at the Oval. The film, The Open Road, was made be Claude Friese-Greene, who together with his father is one of the early pioneers of colour film. Sounds like a fascinating chap.
