One century ago but with music from light years away. Forward motion. La Femme D’Argent. The woman of money?  The Silver Woman? C’est pas grave muchacos.  The music kicks in around 20 seconds after the start of your journey.

Update: November 2010
CBS (in the USA) have done a piece on the origin of this historical film, narrowing it down to the day it was shot, who shot it and why.

Interesting post Holbrook, I think a few of those building might have survived the fire. If i’m not mistaken the Ferry building? Ill look into it. The most fascinating thing to me are the clothing styles and the number of people driving cars. Oh and the Jaywalking.. sweet f—ing Jaywalking! The way it ought to be!

Holbrook: That’s a striking look that Schmitz guy had..! The communist chin beard / aristrocratic waxed moustache mash-up coupled with the sharp suit and bouffant hair. Just checked out more facts on this dude He deserves a post all of his own as a legendary left coaster..!
