The Small Girls Were Playing With The Ball In The Backyard — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1955, this vintage home movie captures two young girls playing in a suburban backyard in Hicksville, New York.

The scene unfolds on a grassy lawn bordered by a chain-link fence, with a house and swing set visible in the background. The footage features natural sunlight, authentic 1950s clothing, and the warm, grainy texture of Super 8 film, evoking a nostalgic, candid moment of childhood joy.
