Description: “New Orleans” (1941) 8mm Film Home Movie, Cemetery, French Quarter, Lake, VS1 Such a great film. The cameraman clearly had experience with the camera and took great documentary footage of New Orleans in 1941. The film opens with a 1 minute scrolling info bit that appears to be a tourist stock lead. Film then moves into great home movie footage of the cemeteries and the French Quarter. So amazing.
