This Kodachrome home movie likely dates from 1960, and begins with shots along the beach -- with the Los Angeles Railway freight railroad line running along the shore.  Starting around the 00:01:31:00 mark is rare color footage of the Angels Flight funicular railway, followed at 00:04:40:00 by shots at a pet cemetery.  Shots of Olivera Street in downtown begin at about the 00:07:28:00 mark, City Hall at 00:09:58:00,  and the Watts Towers at 00:10:41:00
