Saturday Film Club: London in the 1930s

I'm not normally a fan of colourised film, but this one has been coloured, stabalised and a who lot of other ized things, plus it's had a convincing soundtrack added. The result is fascinating, especially the section at Waterloo station five minutes in. 

What we are looking at, is people going about their normal lives almost a hundred years ago. None of them could have foretold that we people in the future, would be able to look at them on our 'phones anywhere in the world.

Summer 1932 at a guess - the U class has been renumbered 1613, but the buses are all London General not LT.

What i find so impressive isn't the cloour it is how smooth movement is in the image. Sometimes there is a sligt artificiality to the image but in the most part it "looks" like a normal image.
