Text: “Mein Vater drehte diesen Film auf der Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki ………..als die ersten Nachrichten über die Kapitulation der Japaner ein spontanes Freudenfest auslösten. Kodachrome 16 mm: Gottlob gab es damals schon Kodachrome, richtig?” …………. (Die Abfalleimer usw. die hinter den Autos geschleift werden, sind sponatane Krachmacher).....
65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version.
