United World Films produced the ethonology series The Earth and its Peoples from 1948-1957. This is one of the first films in the series highlighting the food economy in Northern France that all ends up in the markets of Paris! Amazing footage here! A wonderful slice of French economic history! Here are just a handful of amazing moments in this very hard-to-find original print! • Brittany and its fishing trade. Great shots of sardine and shell-fish fishing! Highlights are of the sardine cannery — where women still where the old traditional hats! • Normandy and its agricultural trade. Many wonderful shots of dairy farming and cheese processing! • Champagne and the methode champagnoise. This highlight is featured in the clip below in its entirety! This quality production is very rare and without proper preservation, will soon be lost!Note: The following clip was taken directly from the original 16mm print and has been edited to a fraction of the film’s original length. Bid on the complete, original 16mm print on ebay through 11/3/2006!
