early 1900s with automobiles and horses occupying the same streets! This was fun to watch and see the vehicles on the street and also the clothing being worn at that time.

But I really wish they wouldn’t colorize and insert fake audio tracks like this. It’s simply not accurate- and can change the actual experience of watching the original film.

Not a fan of colorizing- But that’s just me.
