Abstract
Home movie featuring the Gomez family on an afternoon outing to a zoo in New York (possibly Prospect Park Zoo).
Description
This home movie, entirely shot at a zoo in New York, begins with footage of the brown bears, polar bears, and elephants. Next are shots of the Gomez family traversing the zoo, filmed mostly by patriarch Lou. The two women are Lou's wife Dolores (in a purple coat) and her sister (in a white coat and sunglasses). The little boy running is Lou and Dolores' son Bob, and the girl in the white bonnet is his sister, Diana. Dolores' sister takes a picture of the filmer. At the end of the film, Lou is seen hugging Diana, wearing a hat and smoking a cigarette.
