- A magnificent New York time capsule released by Pan American Airlines to entice you to visit New York. And that it does, filmed in Technicolor and wide screen Technirama. The streets, the cars, the people, the buildings, the sites day and night. Fantastic aerial shots, Central Park, the Guggenheim, NY Stock Exchange, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty. Grants Tomb, George Washington Bridge, the suburbs, as you tour these places in an automobile. Redevelopment of the old neighborhoods. This travel film is a must see! Mastered from a 16mm Technicolor film.
new york looked better back then than today 💪🏼
Very little crime and no moral decay and no internet or cell phones. A few channels on a black and white TV 📺 playing andy griffith or leave it to beaver. There is no comparison today to the American experience in the 1950s and early 60s. Its never coming back
I was there in '57. As I remember the sound of police sirens was near continuous. It got worse in the 60s. According to the stats the crime rate was worse in '62 than it is now.
I think we are better informed now so it just seems worse.

It was, LOL. This may have been the highlight.
@@notabot2928 Very little crime, huh? Wonder what the guys delivering milk to Hell's Kitchen or the south Bronx on the days it was time to collect the money would have to say about that. I wasn't around in the 50s but my relatives told me you didn't hang out east of the 3rd Av El back then, due to Irish and Italian gangs. I generally agree with your sentiment, overall the city was nicer, despite the choking air pollution from garbage incinerators and unchecked vehicle emissions. And the 70s were shit, but I still had fun in NYC, you could get away with smoking weed in the movie theaters by then or at MSG during a concert. The attitude was more fun and spirited in those days.
@@soundshaper Of course there was crime but it’s nothing like it was now and if you think that and you’re going to use Hells kitchen as some excuse to say it’s the same as now you’re just completely delusional
If this was shot in 1961, then it was made on the year that I was born. I was born in Brooklyn New York. I enjoyed the 60s and 70s so very much and would go back in a heartbeat.
Thess cau you ignunce. Skrate up ignunce.
Amazing to see the old Pan Am airport terminal operating as it was originally designed to.
Fantastic video, the building, the cars , the people, central park, the cinemas whith big actors, Kirk Douglas, Clark Gable, Briggitte Bardot, Alan Ladd, Sofía Loren, thanks very much! bests regards from Santiago, Chile
Many thanks!
“Not everyone can stay at the Waldorf”. Well as a 21 year old on my first visit I did”. I had been in awe of that hotel since I was a kid and it was like a dream come true. I loved the city then but sadly no more, it’s completely changed and overall not for the better. Such is life.
Anyone of a certain age who grew up on Long Island remembers those wooden lampposts along the parkways.
Great footage of Grand Central Parkway
I received my selective service draft card in 1959 which meantthat I could drink at a bar, went to Birdland the Jazz corner of the world that night, for the next 5 years I almost never was awake in daylight becoming a night time worker ,but what jazz music I was listening too ! My life was not like this travelogue and now wished I had a movie camera back then!
Another well preserved gem, in wide-screen no less, by Moviecraft.
14:30--15:00...that footage became part of the credits of the television series MAUDE.
Hey Yeah ‼️👍 Good catch ‼️
Beautiful NYC 60s .amazing video
Thanks for visiting
Great film Larry! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nyc best of times
If only time travel was possible... I was not born until 1968, but would give anything to go back and experience NYC in the 50's and early 60's
I am old enough to remember when traffic looked like this in my old hometown of NYC. I started kindergarten in September of 1961 in Flushing, Queens, NYC. The streetlights had florescent lights that gave off a white color. And most traffic signals were 2 colored lights, red for stop and green for go. 😊
I think New York City City was at a peak when this was filmed. A lot of the problems New York and the USA in general had of the later 60s and 70s had not materialized at that point in 1961. An ideal point in time to set your time machine for New York City and before you go pick me up. I want to come along for the trip or at least get a lift back with you.
I noticed a movie called town without pity in the time square segment that movie came out in 1961.
Wonderful!! Thanks for posting!!
Muito bom obrigada
New York was very cool city during those days, unlike today's influx of countless people from all sides. However, I do appreciate the style of this genuine American English accent through the narrator. I can't recall specifically now, but perhaps this person also narrated some other TV documentaries during 50s and 60s. Surely, we nowadays miss this kind of manly voice which was often heard then in movies and TV programmes.
Thanks for sharing!
Hello - Yes, the narrator's voice reminded me of this person, from that era: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_MacNeil
@@EricLehner I am positive that it is Robert MacNeil. I recognize his distinctive voice. I watched the news hour with him and his partner Jim Lehrer on PBS often, back in the 1980s, when I was young.
From a time when people had a more civilized appearance. The woman in the white dress reminds me of so many neighbourhood mothers and teachers of that day: 15:18
707s benefitted from the Comets problems and ruled the skies .
Boeing was the best of them back then.
First DeBlasio and then Adams have turned the Big Apple into the Big Turd.
I think this is actually 1963. The Pan Am Building was under construction in 1961. It has actually been the Met Life building longer than it was the Pan Am Building.
I also thought that ,and probably Pan Am would put this out closer to the opening of the NY World's fair.
I'd agree on that basis alone, in terms of the release in this form. Much of the other footage came from '61 though, with the buses and their color scheme (from Fifth Avenue Coach Lines, before their lines were taken over by MaBSTOA) being the main giveaway.
Sidney Poitier "all the young men" released 1960-08-26 shown on movie marquee.
@@whereisthedollar - Let's face it, the shots they used, in terms of when originated, were all over the place.
@@wmbrown6 god grief you kareians.
Sounds like Robin McNeil narrating.
I think the narrator is Robert MacNeil the MacNeil half of MacNeil and Lehrer journalist duo. Early in his career I suppose. He has or had a distinctive voice. I suppose he is deceased now.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I'd like to see these rescored. That "modern" mix of '61 hard on the ears and chops the heck out of the flow.
Live with it, lol. We had to😉
Ahh, the 60's, I remember it well...Edwin Astley wrote the music for the TV series Danger Man and The Saint back then. He is a accomplished composer of the period.
Yes, Edwin Astley later wrote the original themes and scores for "DANGER MAN" (the hour-long episodes became "SECRET AGENT", with a new theme for American viewers in 1965), "THE SAINT", "THE CHAMPIONS", and "RANDALL AND HOPKIRK" {aka "MY PARTNER, THE GHOST" in the U.S.}.
@@fromthesidelines Any relation to Rick? Or Jon, whose song "Jane's Getting Serious" was used in a Heinz ketchup commercial.
Yes, Jon was his son.
If a person is old enough he or she can remember a time before there was visual clutter everywhere, before ugly spray-painted graffiti, before plastic trash everywhere. A time when most people behaved with some level of dignity and courtesy, especially in public.
The majority of those theaters/cinemas (12:52) had become either strip clubs and peep shows or Kung Fu/Black Exploitation film venues by the late 1970s/early 1980s. It fascinating to see footage of the area just before it began to decay into depravity. Don't worry, its all Walt Disney World and Broadway is back again.

About seven years before slob culture and drug culture took over. I remember NYC in the 80s and it was a mess. I got assaulted twice in broad daylight just walking over to my dad's office on Park Ave from the Port Authority.
The Giuliani team led the clean up and that seemed to hold up until about five years ago. Maybe the youngsters of today will get to experience the adventure and thrill of the 70s and 80s again...or maybe they'll just have to step over human feces.
Who is/was the narrator? It almost sounded like Dick Cavett ....
I'm reasonably sure it was Robert MacNeil, later of NBC and PBS, under the name "Robert Ware" in the credits. (MacNeil's full name is Robert Breckenridge Ware MacNeil.)
Yes , it does sound like him and he also sounded like Cavett a bit. @@superelectra
Now people flee new york
What he calls mist was smog.
Pan Am went out of business 30 years ago- so don't expect to "call Pan American" to book a flight on any of *their* planes.
Or look up over Grand Central Station and see something other than MET LIFE
FLUSHING NUMBER SEVEN EXPRESS !!
At 13:27 that also looks like route 21 North leaving Newark.
Ah, the good old days before America was "diversified".
times have changed .......sadly
New York City has always been diverse and the country as well. Immigrants made this country.
@@marti_flute There's a big difference between immigrants from Europe and immigrants from Africa or Central America.
@@harryshuman9637theKKK totally agree with you ..
@@johnathandaviddunster38 Idk man, after 100 years of liberal policies the western world is plunged into cultural and societal disrepair. Not counting the violence, maybe they were onto something.
What is “Technirama?
It was a form of "widescreen" or Cinemascope at that time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technirama
Notable movies filmed in Technirama were "Auntie Mame" (1958), "Solomon and Sheba" (1959), Walt Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), "Spartacus" (1960), "King of Kings" (1961), "Gypsy" (1962), "The Music Man" (1962), and "The Pink Panther" (1963). The process fell out of favor by the late 1960's, but made one last notable appearance in "The Black Cauldron" (1985).
@MOVIE CRAFT INC.== THANKS !!!

"Wild Animals and Marauding Indians"... All neatly said in one sentence. 11:21 Yeah dude, because the Indians were swindled out of their Island which they called "Manhattan" by signing a Deed written in a language they did not understand and were given $17 dollars worth of used pots & pans to close the deal. The original Document was in a 10 ft. class case in the Public Library on Fifth Avenue & 42nd Street, It was on the 2nd Floor hallway for many years until 1980. It is now hidden away in the archives. It was signed with a big "X" by the Chief which made it Legal in the eyes of the Dutch Courts and Lawyers in Amsterdam.
That's fantastic. It all became a superior nation.
Any Mad Men fans?
