'THE TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL'..... 1935



early 1930's predictory Film about the building of The Transatlantic Tunnel, and subsequently, probably, driving one's 2.97-liter 75 horsepower V-8 alloy engine Czechoslovakian TATRA T87 , at it's maximum speed of 160 kmph, from England to America .....in a 'tech time line' with METROPOLIS and some other 'high tech' Futuristic Films of a Century ago.....Lots of insights into the Political Scenario, Market manipulation and transitional gender role-play.....'same as it ever was/is'....and some wry anticipatory cynicism, dressed in sentimental drivel with some artsy sound-editing and transitional fading, quicksanded by a conventionally dull, ubiquitous sound track and the intermittant drone of early airplane engines......
