Interesting find: Old Madeira movie

Post by Peter Reutter »

Here is an interesting find on Youtube:

A black/white movie from the 1930ies, quite interesting, unfortunately only little info about Madeira wine :lick: (from 6:32 on), but fun to watch.
Enjoy

Peter,
A great find. Had I not see it, I couldn't imagine all those carts being pulled around the streets with some guy greasing their tracks. Must have made walking on the streets like walking on ice. Not to mention the "sleds" going down hill at full speed on wooden rails. Thanks for posting the link!

I wonder what the 'natives' think about it?
Although the comments seem favourable.
