SF & Pasadena Reel, 1940s

This 1940s home movie, labeled Can 10600, likely captures a family’s journey through San Francisco and Pasadena in faded Kodachrome or black-and-white. In San Francisco, expect shaky shots of the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars on Market Street, or Chinatown bustle. In Pasadena, scenes might include Rose Bowl glimpses, craftsman homes, or orange groves. Silent and personal, it blends Bay Area icons with suburban charm, offering a pre-WWII snapshot of two California gems through an amateur’s lens.
