This is a professionally produced film shot in 1945 but you will still see many landmarks that will be recognizable. By the way that was a very good year, I was born in '45.
If you have broadband (cable / DSL) you may just click on the above link and watch. If on a dial-up connection click the link, but when the player appears click the pause button for a short time. This will let the movie download or buffer ahead. Now click play and you can see the YouTube movie without interruption. This will work with about all videos where the player has a pause button.
