Beautiful Color Film Footage of Manhattan, 1950s

Some fantastic color films (not videos) of New York 1959-1960. Check out the pictures of the Stock Exchange and how everything transaction was done manually by phone and paper. Also look at the pictures of Little Italy. I have memories of this (I was only 5 years old) but it could have been a thousand years ago with all the change that has taken place in New York City.
