The Melbourne Wedding Belle

The Melbourne Wedding Belle

Director Colin Dean / 1953 / Australia

Stunning colour footage of mid-century Melbourne’s streetscapes, gardens and architectural landmarks stars in this lighthearted Department of Information short.

A family takes various forms of transport to attend a wedding, passing various Melbourne landmarks along the way. Produced for the Commonwealth Department of the Interior in 1953, The Melbourne Wedding Belle is a terrific time capsule and a joyful love letter to the city.
