Color Film of London From 1927

“The Open Road London”, a wonderful color film of London shot in 1927, from the London’s Screen Archives of Film London.

London was the final stop in a marathon journey around Britain filmed as a series of cinema travelogues. Pioneering filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene brought these picture-postcard scenes to life with a specially-devised colour film process.
