1960s colour movie of Phnom Penh
1960s colour movie of Phnom Penh
This 8+ minute movie was posted on the Phnom Penh expat FB pages. You will get very tired of the music so get ready to punch the Mute key. The movie comes from the Cambodia Skyline FB pages, which I never knew existed but are very nice to check out.

Where is the trash and garbage we now have in the streets everywhere. Is it that they just took pictures of clean places or is Cambodia now choking on its own garbage?

There wouldn't have been much plastic garbage then, but they only show sanitized looking places. If they showed any local villages they were as scruffy as they are now.Sailorman wrote:Where is the trash and garbage we now have in the streets everywhere.

Charles de Gaulle in the early 1960s as the city was expanding west.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

From my memories, I cannot remember plastic bags and polystyrene containers being used in the early 1960's
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

In those days, the God-King was liable to be infuriated if any visiting journo wrote anything negative (about urban slums or corruption or the repression of opposition to the God-King's rule) and journos who displeased were NOT permitted a second visa.
This agreeable propaganda piece is on the same level as ALBANIA TODAY, GDR REVIEW and CHINA RECONSTRUCTS back in the old days.
