1943/24 min 40 sec/47 shots

Download in full

The black-and-white film reconstructs a motorcade route from an elevated position in a box-filled building. Views through upper-floor windows establish the streets below, where an open convertible travels with motorcycle escorts past groups of onlookers. A circular sighting reticle tracks the approaching vehicle and its occupants, making clear how the angle and distance change as the car moves along the route. Interior scenes show stacks of cartons near the windows and a man moving through the space before the film returns to street traffic outside.
