A homage to the city of San Francisco made in 1955 by amateur filmmaker and inventor Tullio Pellegrini. Pellegrini combined a 16mm Bell & Howell Cinemascope lens with the wonders of Kodachrome.
You'll see Playland (an oceanside amusement park which was closed in 1972) plus very rare footage of the SkyTram (an extinct ride over Seal Rocks and Sutro Baths), and a brake-screeching ride down the Crookedest Street in the World.

I loved every second of this! It made me fall in love all over again with my city.
