“Naples +” (1931) 16mm Film Home Movie, By Ship, Algiers, Pompeii, Athens Greece

Description: “Naples +” (1931) 16mm Film Home Movie, By Ship, Algiers, Pompeii, Athens GreeceHopefully the video will be approved by eBay soon. I have loaded the video clip on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UD8fWCGwXe8 Incredible footage from a cruise trip in 1931 opening in Algiers, through Naples, Pompeii and ending in Athens. There seems to be a portion missing from the start since the film starts with text frames that are a continuation of previous footage. The filmmaker has edited in title frames and portions of what looks like souvenir footage in with their own film footage. The street scenes in Naples and Athens, buildings, cruise staff out and about in the towns and the many information frames introducing footage are really amazing. Some of the shots with titles are of stills and I’m not sure how they did that. Camera magic of the 30s. Great historical footage. FILM CONDITION: The film appears to be in good condition, ran smoothly on a manual thread Revere projector and has no detectable vinegar syndrome. Some streaking and speckling on portions. There are clicks at each of the splice point, but the film did not lose track. The souvenir film portions have a yellow hue.
