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

Re: Interesting find: Old Madeira movie
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!

Re: Interesting find: Old Madeira movie
I wonder what the 'natives' think about it?
Although the comments seem favourable.
