Palm Beach Scenes - c.1920: Silent BW Footage Restored to Life

Time travel movie takes us back 102 years to Palm beach Florida in 1920. A group of high society friends relax by the seaside in the January sunshine.
Silent film AI colorized and upscaled to a 4K 60 fps video with added sound design.

The styles are amazing, and pretty much represents the high fashion worn by wealthier people in 1920. From the hats and turbans to the beach parasols and pretty summer dresses.
The men are pretty snazzy too.

Appearing in the film:
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Guthridge; Mrs. Charles B. Dillingham and Miss Marjorie Newton; Mr. and Mrs. Jerome N. Bonaparte; Mrs. E. Clarence Jones; Mrs. H. M. Baruch and Miss Simona Baruch; Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Meyer; Mrs. Morgan Belmont; and finally Miss Bonnie Boyd leaving beach house.
