Visited many of the countries in this video. Just in 1995 alone I was in Norway, Spain, Italy, Tunisia, Sicily, Crete, and Israel. In 1992 I was in Azores, England, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, UAE, and Pakistan. In 1993 in was in Puerto Rico, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Sao Tome, Ghana, Benin, and Senegal. Visited Turkey and Canada in 2002. 1986 I was Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Philippines. Transitted the English Channel, Suez and Panama Canals. Visited Hawaii twice (1984 & 1986). Held my first reenlistment on USS Arizona Memorial in 1986.
@@fromthesidelines It was sponsored and paid by Coca Cola. Likewise Pepsi did a sports film called The World Next Door in 1965 and the only drink in that film is Pepsi!
Those kids in the fountain. @8:21 Today, think of all the citations and calls to child protective agencies. How the whole bloody world has flipped over.
It was a promotional film sponsored by Coca Cola and the impression the give is that Coca Cola is the only beverage available throughout the free world
@@jaminova_1969 Hi Jami, a number of friends blame me personally of who and what happens in Congress. Personally, don't like talking about politics, and maybe if you can ID the individual who is a Communist, I may have an answer. I tell my friends...if you can do better, you should run for political office. I'll talk to you about the film itself, Wonderful World, but not the politics behind the filming of it in 1959 -- none of these films made in the 1950s travel to communist countries including the Walt Disney film The Danube, that was made around the time of Wonderful World...also in these promo films, you'll never see the bad parts of a city, no poverty, no garbage on the streets, etc. we all live in a shang-ri-la, a so called ideal society in Hilton's novel Lost Horizon, according to these films of the 1950s.
I checked the part on Sweden, hoping to see a view of the traffic. I've heard they drove on the "wrong" side of the road back then, and it would have been interesting to see it. But anyway, was this a series or is this video the whole thing? Did someone travel in dozens of countries, and a minute or less of material from each country ended up in the program? That'd seem pretty wasteful...
We changed on 3 Sept 1967. However, cars have always had the steering wheel on the left. Here is a "re-enactment" on the 50th anniversary in 2017: ruclips.net/video/TC0azFh03cw/видео.html (most - but not all - cars pre-1967 models). More clips here: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=h%C3%B6gertrafikoml%C3%A4ggningen+1967 The switch-over took place at 5 am Sunday morning and only taxis and buses were allowed on the road at that moment.
This was not part of a series. Actually, this print comes from my own collection. There is a booklet that came with the film detailing the number of countries that were visited to make the film, the many language barriers, and there were several crews that traveled on behalf of the sponsoring firm, Coca-Cola to make the film. Likewise, Pepsi did a similar film on sports around the world, and in that film, the only beverage that is consumed is Pepsi, and I have a travel film to Alaska sponsored by Miller Brewing, and the only beverage consumed in that film is Miller beer, but the cast is that film is all adults.
Awesome old film. The world was a different place pre 60s.
Yes&for the good in countless ways!.

Congrats colonel Sanders!
Love the none-to-subtle product placements about every five minutes.
WHO paid for this film? ;)

Obviously! ;)
It’s very subtle. A similar film made today would have obnoxious product placement. That’s a fact.
Interesting thank you 🗽

Germans at a celebration drinking Coke is just so wrong!
Oh là là !
glad European countries have cleaned their buildings. they looked so blackened, at late as '59.
Due to the twin cancers of Post-modernism & Neo-Marxism, *this film could not be made in the USA today.*
This is the kind of thing Aunt Bee would enjoy watching.
Shh! Andy is planning a trip to the UK with Aunt Bee as soon as he can find a replacement for Barney!
The whole world drinks Coke, apparently!

@@mitchdakelman4470 So we managed to sell coke to the Kremlin, but now we have Communists in Congress? Who's responsible for that?

Pauli Vaara maybe the US drives on the wrong side of the road. Remember perspective
