Yes sir, you are correct.That is Blackpool tower at 1:15.
However the video is obviously a "collage" of different film clips.
Notice how the various stock and film grain changes throughout it ?
BTW arent you the same individual who couldnt even tell that
the first Clay vrs Henry Cooper fight film footage wasnt obviously spliced
before the fifth round began,thus editing out the three minutes rest
that Muhammad Ali had gotten in-between rounds ?

How's your IQ today? I did not change YOUR original.....I changed MY contribution with your words in them.

You can do it just as easily as I can......it's not a secret, or a difficult task......

It's just all clever and funny and stuff.

But YOUR original contribution is safe and sound right where you left it.

Now relax, and think about Jimmy Hoffa. We're all lookin' for him. He done wandered of and got lost.

You shouldnt be so hard on yourself Woller calling yourself such names,
I can understand why you may perhaps be so bitter
when you called me out on the fact that Joe Louis managers had purposely
avoided Max Marek in the professionals due to his traumatic loss to him back in the amateurs some years ago
and I provided the hyperlink to the original 1938 source that said it was so.

yeah sort of like how Sir Alexander Fleming "discovered" penacillin.
I mean, how do scientists actually "discover" something thats already been here for eons ?

So I guess if any of Harry Grebs fights ever turn up again
they wont be discovered as much as having been "stumbled across".

On second thought, perhaps it is Hollywood movie star

Paul Muni

star of such screen classics as SCARFACE (1931) and I AM A FUGTIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG (1932) ?

okay then try and debunk this theory then.
The man seen here hitting the tetherball on the beach at Blackpool England at 1:00 could it have been Harry Greb ?

Whoever is hitting the bag isn't famous! The crowd in much more interested in watching the camera watch them; almost no one is looking at the boxer.

That of course a scene from the classic 1934 film MANHATTAN MELODRAMA.
here's some trivia for you.
what Famous (or rather Infamous person) saw this movie in Chicago just before he died
after leaving the theatre playing this ?( Here's a clue,he wasn't the one wearing a red dress).

the Question should really be,
Why Would't 'have Harry Greb wanted to visit Blackpool ?
BTW I don't think that there is any truth to the rumour that this song was played at his funeral.

It sure looks like Greb, and it's likely a famous person juding by the crowds. Good find.
