Wow GW...what an amazing short film! I think you're right about it dating from the early thirties. And I'm really fascinated with the narration, some of which is silly, charming and slightly surreal all at once:

"Truly a street of memories. Soft speaking olive-skinned guides, languid in business. 'You buy, or you don't buy. What does it matter?' Happiness is his when humming an old love song. And he is lost without the inevitable guitar."

I would probably watch more travel documentaries if they were written with that much poetic license.
