We’ve spent some time in 1930s New York City before, but always in boring, flat black & white. Now you can see it all in glorious color. The below footage was filmed in the summer of 1939 by a a French tourist, Jean Vivier, on 16mm Kodachrome. You’ll see Harlem, Rockefeller Center, the top of a tourist bus, and much more in the nearly 3 minutes of film.

“Now, for the first time in its billions of years of history, our planet is protected by far-seeing sentinels, able to anticipate danger from the distant future–a comet on a collision course, or global warming–and devise schemes for doing something about it. The planet has finally grown its own nervous system: us.”

What was almost too awesome to behold, like looking into the sun, was Betty calmly taking a drag from her menthol and then telling Don exactly who he is, with no pretenses and no agenda; just laying it all out because she’s known him well, known him long, and known him intimately. That combination puts her in a very distinct position in Don’s bed. “That poor girl,” she says sadly, of Megan, “She doesn’t know that loving you is the worst way to get to you.” There’s nothing bitchy in that line; no attempt to hurt any of the people she’s talking about. That’s incredibly rare for Betty, which should give you some idea of how much she’s grown up lately.
