Zelinsky’s Sunset Roll 1, 1940s

This 1940s home movie from the Zelinsky Collection’s Roll 1 captures a young couple and their boy in a stroller on a smooth, new sidewalk in San Francisco’s Sunset District. Shot in faded color or black-and-white, it features the family posing by Doelger houses, with Stern Grove possibly looming behind. A little girl joins the boy for playful stroller scenes before the family drives off in a 1940s car, ending with a flare of light and punched holes—a classic reel finale.
