Wonderful images of kilts in a 1928 film

That was wonderful. I am really glad I had the time to watch that. Made my day.

Thanks for posting that! It's amazing, how clear the film is, how great the special effects are, how inventive and funny the whole thing is.

Interesting that in 1928 the end of The Civil War was only 53 years in the past, as far in the past as The Vietnam War is today, and that nearly all the older men in the US would have been Civil War veterans.

Very fun stuff (although I'm not sure about Richard's math. . .)

1928 was 63 years after the end of the Civil War in 1865, and 2013 is 38 years after the Fall of Saigon in 1975, so your math is off on both counts, I'm afraid. I doubt there were many Civil War veterans surviving in 1928.
