This circa 1935 home movie, Ransohoff Collection: Can "RAN A" Colorized, from the Ransohoff family archives, originally shot in black-and-white 16mm and later colorized, captures suburban or country life. A young woman swings a racket on a tennis court, her dress vivid in added hues. A boy romps with a dog across a lawn, while swimming pool action—splashes and dives—unfurls in bright tones. Likely filmed by San Francisco’s Ransohoff department store family, this silent reel evokes a pre-war summer idyll, blending leisure and innocence in a bucolic setting.
