Synopsis

Here's a downtown shot in Amsterdam. People stroll, people get on and off the buses, and it's all very standard for the era. What makes it exceptional is the clarity and detail of the image, abetted by this being shot in British Bioscope's 68mm format. With almost four times the fame area, details and clarity are revealed that other film makers of the time could not achieve. When someone puffs on a cigarette, you can see the smoke hang in the air and dissipate!
