Twentieth Century "Turn of the Century"

Note: Transferred at 18 Frames per Second so the old silent footage looks more "normal".

Interesting! I had a 16mm copy of this years ago. It was a CBS NETWORK PRINT. NEXT WEEKS EPISODE WAS ROMMEL. THIS PRINT HAS THE GENERIC FOR "RERUN" SHOWS AS THE 1961 SEASON KICKS IN!

Actually, what originally followed this episode was part one of "Japan's Changing Face" [March 6, 1960].

[@mikedrown2721]

That's to slow down the fast film to make it more realistic

[@ne1124]

Wow, the audio on this video is toooo slow! Very interesting video.

[@jeffjoseph5755]

Yes, see note above. We transferred at the "silent" speed so the video would look correct. The audio was added much later.

[@PJay-wy5fx]

Yeah, well done. Now the audio is almost unintelligible and there are no subtitles provided either.
So basically we can now watch ‘almost normal’ old footage without any context.
Waste of your (and our) time really.

Originally telecast on February 28, 1960. I suspect this could be a 1961 spring/summer repeat.

Sounds like a 45 at 33 1/3.

Who started the wars?

Unwatchable because of that wacky speed trick
