ANTWERP

Produced from the viewpoint of an actual visit to the city of Antwerp opening as a guide. Opening sequence shows the city's docks and the farmers' produce markets. The small trolley-cars timidly try to inch an air of modernism into the old city. The zoo, one of the world's finest, is visited. "We see that gasoline has not put the horse out of business in Antwerp. The flower market at the foot of Antwerp Cathedral, started in the fourteenth century, is visited next. In the cathedral, the carillon is shown with its old-fashioned keyboard, and the film closes with the sound of the bells. Sound narration and background photography excellent." Georgia.
