Walking-related Treasures from the Gigantic and Free Internet Archive
Walking Off the Big Apple loves the Prelinger Archives and the whole Internet Archive! Where else can I possibly find so many walking-related films to share with you?
Did you know Rick Prelinger founded his archives in New York City? Sez so here!
Appointing myself Guest Curator of walking-related motion pictures from this vast collection, I have selected the four following films for your enjoyment and instruction.
Walking Off the Big Apple sees many pedestrian violations on a daily basis. Many of these films can put us back on the pathway to righteousness.
First, we'll open our show with a curiosity from 1917 that advertises fashionable walking shoes, and then we'll move on to the cautionary instructional films.
Modes of the Moment (1917)
Safety Patrol(1937) - Handy (Jam) Organization
When You Are a Pedestrian (1948) - Progressive Pictures
Prelinger began his archive with this film.
ABCs of Walking Wisely (1959)
We've barely even scratched the surface of the Internet Archive. There are so many New York-related films here that we'll need to revisit time and time again.
