This incredible footage was filmed by a long time worker in the Canadian film and television industry who was fortunate at the time to have access to very high priced (back then) 16mm equipment. We were able to acquire this from his estate many years ago and this is the first chance we've had to share it. This was captured in New York City at the 1939 World's Fair. He was an avid sportsman so a lot of the footage focused on the swimmers and high divers. The film has suffered in some sports from age but overall very clear and enjoyable. Note: This piece was filmed silent and has no audio.
