This week's Vineyard Gazette features an article by Louisa Hufstader – The Way We Were: Wearing Ties to the Beach – about movies shot by Charles M. James during summer vacations on the island in the early 1940s.
The remarkable 80-year-old, pre-war color footage, edited and digitized by the Martha's Vineyard Museum, and narrated by its research librarian Bow Van Riper, provides glimpses of a bygone era as the island and Islanders were shifting from "farm country to summer resort and commercial fishing to pleasure boating."
