European Trip 1930s – Amateur Film – Part 2 of 4

0 European Trip 1930s   Amateur Film   Part 2 of 4http://www.bulsar.de

American Vagabonds on Grand Tour

This is my favourite amateur film. The photographer has a true interest in places, sights and buildings visited, and most of the footage has high quality. Some young Americans – “Bill and I” – travel in Europe, probably in 1936 (the airship Hindenburg is seen passing Cologne heading towards Berlin). They leave New York in march and sail home in the autumn. They go by boat and train and come to many places: Lisbon, Gibraltar, Algiers, Palermo, Naples, Capri, Monaco, Geneva, Wengen, Lucerne, Cologne, Brussels, Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg, Munich and Berlin.

I don’t know who these people are, or if they did something more than sightseeing during this half year. You get glimpses of personal life, but in the end you find anonymity. Their tourist perspective seems to change during the trip. First they see “picturesque” and “strange” things. Algiers is a “city of contrasts”. They come to “The modern French section”, and then see “some strange sights in the old Arabic quarters”. Some women in hijabs run away from the offensive tourist camera, while some boys laugh – at the Americans. In Vienna, Budapest and Berlin they see more of the ordinary life between the great buildings, and they see the Nazis. There are great pictures of Nazis marching in Berlin and of the people watching. Near the end, now in colour, we see a brown house with bright red Nazi flags waving in the wind. Bill stands in front of this house. Strange enough, his colours are almost the same as the Nazi colours – a camel-hair ulster, a red scarf and a brown hat – but he seems to feel uncomfortable standing there. – The thrill of these amateur films is that you see scenes like these and only can guess what they mean.
