Revisit Havana, the "Paris of the Caribbean," in the 1930s | Open Culture - 1 views

  •  
    This short film showing Havana in the 1930s was shot by André de la Varre, the long-time cameraman and cinematographer for American traveler, photographer and filmmaker Burton Holmes. In those days, Havana was a flourishing and fashionable city dubbed the "Paris of the Caribbean," attracting an ever increasing number of tourists. André de la Varre's film portrays Havana as the "exotic capital of appeal," which pretty much sums up its essence during those days.
