A young boy in red swim trunks plays in the shallow waves at a Connecticut beach in 1947. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the child running, splashing, and waving his arms in the water, with other swimmers visible in the background. The grainy, slightly faded color and natural motion convey authentic vintage home movie charm from the post-war era.
Minors are visible. A sensitive-use review is required before commercial use.
Flags come from automated catalog metadata, not a legal opinion. The source is an original 8mm / Super 8 Home Movie reel. For high-stakes commercial use, request a full rights review.
Confidence labels are defined on Archive Integrity. Fields without a recorded value are shown as not recorded rather than assumed.
