A particularily bizarre look at the 1915 San Fransisco Worlds Fair, I say that because while the images are fascinating to look at, it's totally weighed down by the narration which borders on the ridiculous at times ("Housing straaaaaaaaaange and beautiful plants…") and also the music, which is just one long drawn out violin solo. It's a particularily bad choice for such exciting footage, I have absolutely no idea why they would choose something like that for this. Anyways..
