in which city in the world do you want to live in the 30's???
NEW YORK CITY or PARIS, in the 70's though, Los Angeles....
Atlanta georgia so I can ride the trains everywhere before they were demolished in the 1970s and replaced with a shit system called MARTA
Chicago
In 30s ??? Not in America. Not with them racist white people.
New York City or Newark New Jersey.
My mom was born in Hollywood in 1925 and grew up down the street from Paramount studios and graduated from Hollywood high, class of 1943. She was 6 years old when this was filmed and was probably just a few blocks away. She told me that growing up in LA pre-WWII was magical. She’s 98 and still going strong!
I’m an old lady, raised in LA and I remember seeing the floodlights in the sky from my window. I would imagine all the people in their finery attended a premier. I thought someday I’m going to join them, but the world changed and the stars that I care about are either gone or very old.
LA was a different place in the early 70s when the freeways still smelled of leaded gasoline fumes. Going north of Ventura was like dredging through the wild forest, and Art's was packed with a line out the door on a weekend day.
I hope you are well 😌
Abraços do Brasil ❤❤❤
@@TheGunnCatI think this footage is from 1932.
I remember the same. I remember my parents driving for a closeup look.
My Grandma and Grandpa went to the premier of Grand Hotel when they lived in their West Adams apartment on Rimpau Blvd. My mom was born around then on May 7, 1932. Grandpa was a trombonist in the L.A. Philharmonic after graduating from UCLA and did extra work for MGM, RKO and Hal Roach. Actual musicians were high demand for movies because actors didn't even know how to hold or pretend to play musical instruments with any realism. My grandparents grew up a couple blocks apart from each other on Rimpau and went to the same elementary school (Cienega) that my mom went to 20 years later. The city was so shiny and clean back then. Nothing gold can stay. I really love these archival reels of LA History.
This looks like it’s actually filmed live and remembering that this was actually nearly 90 years ago, incredible work.

Thank you
I know it looks like it was shot today with an old filter thrown on top.
Fun fact: There are live broadcasts of both radio and TV and because there isn't any pre-recorded technology to rewatch those broadcasts in the 30s, these live radio and television broadcasts are now lost.
@@rayvega3163 Were there live TV broadcasts at the red carpet then?
Incredible. You haven't just "restored" a film; you brought a bygone era back to life. It's like being there.
To be exact, this is April 29, 1932, the Hollywood premiere of Grand Hotel.
thank you so much
At Grauman’s Chinese Theater.
April 12th actually.
So smack daddy in the middle of the great depression!
All those arriving in fancy cars are old money that survived the 1929 crash or actors who were not affected by it.
@@barath4545 the Unemployment rate during the Depression was around 25% So, there were many people working. And many were actors…
I can smell the cold air the cigarettes the smog the glamour and the excitement. Another Oscar nomination for you Nass.
thank you so much
No smog in 1932.
@@moniquedeitz4356 True, it mostly started after WWII...
I can smell mediocrity.
I was thinking this too, and I'll just add the "perfume" I could almost smell the different light scents, as each lady passed by, and their long gowns and furs were beautiful! I'd take this romantic Hollywood any day over what we see today! This was long before I was born, but I can appreciate this time period, more than what we see today. I think actors and actresses, as well as those in the music industry, could take some notes from this time period! 👍🏽💗
The premiere of "Grand Hotel" at Grauman's Chinese Theatre was on May 2, 1932.
What you have done with this film is truly remarkable. A real pleasure to watch. Masterfully restored. You never fail to amaze us NASS. Many thanks as always.
thank you so much 😊
Actually, April 12th.
@@windsorkid7069 Also saw a date on the web claiming it was April 29th. So who really knows😃
No it wasn't Please stop posting misinformation. I'm looking at the damn newspaper ad from April 29, the premiere. Regular performances began the next day.
@@NASS_0 Don't thank these people, they're ALL wrong. I don't post without knowing things - they look on the imdb or Wikipedia, never a good idea. I found the newspaper listing for the premiere on April 29, the Los Angeles Times. I'm looking at it now.
Do you want to spend an evening in 1930's Los Angeles?
I want to live there
Rangoon,Burma plz
I got my shoes shined and my suspenders clipped!
Saaayy, that'd be just swell!
My people weren't treated too well back then so It's a HARD "No" for me
Great job, capturing a slice of old Hollywood glamour, and seeing those beautiful limos pulling up in front of Grauman's was a treat.
thank you so much
I’ve been searching for this. Love it. Always loved the classic glamour and glitz of 30’s-70’s Hollywood.
👆👆You are a lucky winner dm me on telegram 🎁🎁🎊
same here
I think the classic glamour and glitz of Hollywood stopped in the 1950s!
Amazing job, as always! That pushing, surging crowd really felt like "Day of the Locusts".
Thank you so much
I was in that film..."Day of the Locusts" filmed at Paramount Studio in the 1970s. Worked for a month on the sound stage.
Funny, i was thinking that very same thing. When I read that scene in the book, I envisioned those images. Very spooky to see it filmed that way!
Looks like it was filmed yesterday, fantastic job!
thank you so much!
Its amazing how well people dressed back then. Lots of class.
They had a better moral code too, on the whole. And a better cohesiveness culturally despite many of these people only being in the country for 20 years or less. If you wanted to get ahead you had to earn it, no DEI handouts.
@@Dooblecaine depends on your opinion. In mine it was good for some, and terrible for others.
They could afford it of course, and it was part of the show, so to speak. Most people did not dress like that.
@Dooblecaine They had a better moral code? No, they didnt.
Well-dressed - and slim! Yes, and lots of class!
Incredible slice of history, I love these old scenes of Hollywood back when it had actual class and glamour. I love the little peak we get of the film crew @ 5:32, well you just see their shadow but it's fun to see what the crowd was seeing with the big camera on the tripod.
There might have been footage from two different film premieres, Grand Hotel (1932) and Dirigible (1931). There is one segment where there were sailors and a model of a US Navy airship above the door. I watch Grand Hotel years ago but don't recall a US Navy personnel in the cast.
👆👆You are a lucky winner dm me on telegram 🎁🎁🎊
I noticed those differences too. The US Navy dirigible model looks fantastic. I never saw that movie. Where are you TCM??
I think I saw Dirigible… That was an early Frank Capra movie if I’m not mistaken. That means Capra and Harry Cohn were there
Just found this channel and I am an instant life long subscriber. It’s so cool to actually see the world through our grandparents eyes.
This may be your best yet, they keep getting better and better
thank you so much
I was born & raised in Hollywood on Los Feliz Blvd. Most of old Hollywood is gone, but much of it still remains. Much of the old buildings from the 1930s is still all over & around. Even the apartment complex I grew up in is from the 1930s. The stairs leading up to the second floor of our apartment is made of concrete & painted gloss white the way it was in the 1930s. The trees & bushes of Hollywood have a special smell like clean wet cement. . .
Always amazes me how people of that era took pride in what they wore.
Nothing stopping you from wearing a suit and tie everyday.
@@1981menso I believe you just made mozart's point 😂
I drive through Hollywood, the exact same location you see here, past Grauman's, El Capitan, The Roosevelt, etc. It's a complete dump now and I only use Hollywood BLVD because the road is actually better than Sunset which has entire homeless communities on the street.
Well done, preserving a special time in this cities history.
Yes...I lived diwn the street at fountain and highland 20 years ago when i moved to LA and Hollywood was still liveable...now it's a complete cesspool
@@danpatrick9080 and it's not the crime that's the problem, it's all the people without homes or somewhere to go.
That Grand Hotel in the footage is no longer there is it?
@@jackedkerouac4414 no no, The 'Grand Hotel' is the name of the 1932 movie and this was the premiere night at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in LA (which is still there today) 😊so basically, there is no Grand Hotel, it's just a movie title.
Film it now before it gets even worse.......
This video full of feelings...i wish i lived then...now everything is so much different...all have changed...why? Now everything is without feeling... how much i want to live the 19 18 20 century.....this century is not for me...😔😔😔
You and I Elina 😢 same feelings here, I am fanatical in regards the romantic period (1798-1837) if I had a wish granted to go back, I’d go back to Newstead Abbey London at the time of Lord Byron, when poetry and literature was highly appreciated and respected, when many considered erudition and romantic and classical music a way of life.
I was definitely born in the wrong century.
😔
You should see Hollywood today, sadly a homeless, gang, crime infested dump
I mean back then you would've probably been a hungry farmer so it doesn't sound that great
Because Globalist psychopaths wish to enslave humanity, that’s why. And they have brainwashed fools in our schools of the last two generations to believe communism were the good guys and capitalism evil - they both use the exact same economics basically, at the highest level, excepting at the liberty level.
I get the sentiment, but remember, no antibiotics. No cancer treatment. Polio was rampant. Sexism, racism, homophobia - official government policy. Widespread poverty and hunger in the United States. An incipient world war. Wonderful to visit through the lens of nostalgia but I’ll take today.
This is truly amazing. I've seen newsreels for the premiere of Grand Hotel in the past, but it was always from the theater side with the cars arriving and interviews with some of the stars. I've never seen this from the street side before. This is incredible. The scenes with the police trying to hold back the crowd are so clear its as if it was recorded with an HD cam yesterday! Wonderful!
Sid Grauman developed the plans for his “dream theatre” with architect Raymond Kennedy of Meyer & Holler, which also designed the Egyptian Theatre. Grauman financed and owned a one-third interest in the Chinese Theatre.
His partners - Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Howard Schenck - owned the rest.
The theater opened May 18, 1927, with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings.
The first celebrity footprint was that of silent film star Norma Talmadge, added in 1927 when she accidentally stepped out on the wet cement. That gave Grauman an idea that later became the theatre's most famous feature.

Beautiful, beautiful, absolutely beautiful !

huge fan of this channel !!
Your candid films never cease to amaze me. Thank you for sharing these pieces of history.
Superb! The automobiles are the stars in this video. I can't envision any new movies today that would generate this much buzz.
it crazy how sad the Chinese theater looks today compared to this film. all covered in advertisement banners and everyone in costumes trying to get u to pay for a picture with them. Amazing footage

And to think these people were there 90 years ago so many years have passed by and so many have visited this place just wow thank you for the amazing video ❤️❤️
High quality work. Thanks for all you do.
I did some research and this appears to be the premier showing for Howard Hughes movie "Hells Angels" quite the big deal in it's time. Wonderful piece of history. Thanks for bringing it to life for so many to enjoy!
Crazy to see this building. Now as of today its filled with weirdos and people asking for photos and people swearing if you dont give them change. I wish i could go back in time to see its beauty.
I’m absolutely w you, Mr. Koda!
I can assure you Hollywood was never beautiful
I can assure you it wasn’t as ugly back then!
Not anymore. I was there in April of last year and then August. No more weirdos. They ran them off further down the Blvd. Sometimes they do reappear but take off soon after.
Hate to tell you this, but when you were there, you numbered among the weirdos. Just sayin.
OMG this is so awesome. 😮 It’s literally the closest thing we have to a time machine.
this is amazing. Thank you so much for this work. That’s Graumann’s... I don’t remember what it’s called now. The throngs of people, how scary it looks. Policeman pushing, the crowd swaying…how could they all be there? WHY would they all want to be there? No TV no radio I guess, lol. & It was the depression. Glamour was out of reach for most.
Thank you so much
name hasn't changed
Radio and Newsreels would have definitely been there!
@@gregorykayne6054 yeah, prob everyone had a radio by then.
It was Manns Chinese theater for long time
Wow! This colorized and restored fottage is so real as if it was shot yesterday.

Really interesting video. Feels like you are brought back in time.
I find these old reels so fascinating and wonder how painstakingly it takes too produce these too the highest quality, I salute you guys, well done 👍👍👍
There is nothing painstaking here, an AI goes through the video and optimizes everything to be framed inbetween and then adds a cloud of random focused color
My god, this is _stunning_ ! I've never seen such sharply, perfectly realized human faces in restorations until now. Just imagine what this technology will be like in just a year or two. 3D re-creations that you can wander in VR? I'm so grateful to live in this peaceful (no world wars), technologically fantastic era.
I don't know how to feel about the fact that they are probably all dead now and we are watching them to live the best years there. There will be somebody in 2130 watchin' us. Crazy. Life is crazy.
My family
Life is a precious gift and we need to live in a way that we cherish every moment.
I don't think there's any probably about it😂
Great job ! Thank you so much for posting !
I know this area of Hollywood well, and this film is of a bygone era of glamour that is unlikely to ever return, but at least you have preserved it in a format that allows it to feel as though we were there. Thank you.
wow, I was born in the wrong time. L.A looked so much better back than compared to now.
if you were white yeah woulda been amazing
A simpler time when everything had its place and everything in society seemed to work
Yea great society. Hitler was taking rule. Great depression, racism. Prob more than half the country living in poverty. Your nostalgia is clouding your rationality.
@@cjstats1514 Hitler was on another continent and if Germany was left in better shape after WW1, Hitler wouldn’t rose to power. Talk the Federal Reserve about The Great Depression. And half the country was NOT living in poverty, a single family income from the father was enough while the mother stayed home, took care of the house and kids. We were a better nation. Your irrational take on history seems to be clouding your judgement.
@RMX_Indiana I was referring to tim3s in general. Even just talking about the US. None of your facts are correct. Sorry to tell you. You may want to read up on some history. This was dated as the 30s. In the 30s the poverty rate tagged from 78 percent during the great depression, to around 50% at the best. So yes, I was correct. It wasn't until after FDRs new deal along with post ww2, that the middle.class became what it is. The on person working per gous hold was more 50s to around 70s. But poverty was never great. Even in the 50s. What you see is the privileged. And mostly white middle class, to upper middle class. I agree that greed has started to destroy th modern middle class. It's becoming smaller, and mor income inequality. But let's not whit wash history. Things were not great for a lot of citizens back then.
@@cjstats1514 None of my facts were correct? Lol so Hitler wasn’t on another continent? 😂😅
@RMX_Indiana Did you not read what I said? I said I was talking about that time in general. Then I went on to tell you everything about the US. And are you trying to say Hitler didn't effect the whole world, including the US? You're being disingenuous. Try to stick to facts.

Just Awesome! So clear for an old footage.. great job! It's just like I'm in a Time Machine. ;-) I Remember Jean Harlow and Clark Gable's Time. I love the lights too.. that yellow colored old lights (or maybe that's white in real). Requesting for a Hollywood footage also in the 50s if possible. 😁 Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, and Elvis Presley.. I just love that Old Hollywood Era! 😊
thank you very much
This is the Grand Hotel film premiere. The film on DVD and Blu-ray includes the short 15 minute premiere. In B/W though with sound. You see the biggest film actors attend the premiere including Joan Crawford, Mae West, Jean Harlow and dozens others. Those Hollywood premieres were amazing in the 30’s.
The movie starred Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, John and Lionel Barrymore and Wallace Beery. All huge names in Hollywood at that time.

Film really is like sorcery. Its like capturing a moment in time thats long dead.
There's something about between 1:53 to 2:08 that's very haunting. Also, that's the most Cadillacs and Packard's I've seen in one place ever. Anyone spot a Duesenberg ?

Another masterpiece of restoration, a great time capsule escape! I wonder if film director Martin Scorsese (sp?) looked over old films like these to choose what they used in the movie "The Aviator". Thanks NASS!!
thank you so much
I thought of that scene too!
@@risk5riskmks93 Hi! I really like that movie and have the DVD. It is hard though the parts as Howard gradually goes insane. That part is hard, but wow the rest! I love that Sikorsky I think S38 aircraft! The movie is a great adventure and also Kate Blanchett I have a weakness for ha! That stroke of genius when he said, "What do we need two wings for?" and he knocks out the struts on that biplane ha! To be innovative and take risks... I think that's when great inventions and ideas in all areas come about. It's like Orville Wright kind of bored in his bike shop twists a long I think it was cardboard box in his hands and the idea for a propeller comes about. I don't think though that they gave Otto Lilienthal enough credit with his amazing glider, or the French inventors... but still an amazing story of the Wright brothers and the meaning, like Howard, of innovative minds in action.
This ranks as one of my favorite videos of yours. The crowds, damn, packed together like sardines.

I love these old scenes of days gone by. I'm 76, born in 1946, and I remember when America was indeed the land of the free and the home of the brave. I don't know what the hell the country has become these days.
Land of segregation during that time. At least in the south. My parents are you age, they went to segregated schools.
@@tartgreenapple The good ol' days, am I right?
I can tell you what the country has become. A nation run by greedy, self centered, apathetic, un empathetic younger boomers and Gen Xers who laugh at the values that were around when they were being raised.
Well, as of 2022 its the laughing stock of the world… its gone from the Penthouse to the shite house rather swiftly
@@tartgreenapple I went to some integrated schools and lived in diverse area. It isn't better today. People are still racial. It's obviously natural instinct to want to be around others who are more like yourself most of the time. If this wasn't true history wouldn't be full of cultural and racial conflicts, violence and resentments up to today. Forced people together doesn't create unity.
This is insane

How magical they made it. BTW the sounds worked really well
