Summary
No titles. Montreal's Underground City.
Montreal, Canada.
Travelling shot as we drive along highway towards downtown Montreal. Exterior shot of Ville Marie garage entrance with car going into hotel garage. C/U of car wheels driving through slush. General view of commuters coming up stairs into Canadian National Station.
Several shots of the 'underground city' above or below the station - a shopping mall. People walk around. A man cleans the floor with a sweeping machine. People sit in a cafe. Men have their hair cut at a barber's and their shoes shined at another store. People queue at a bank.
Shots of people wandering about the mall. A metro train is seen arriving on a lower level of the mall. People come up an escalator into the Place Bonaventure. C/U of sign reading 'Zum Zum' outside a sausage cafe.
In the exhibition hall people look at yachts in some kind of boat show. Two girls swim in an outdoor heated pool on top of the Hotel Bonaventure. A man comes out of a shop with a sign in the window reading 'Turkish Bath' and does up his coat - looks a bit seedy! Shot of a window in a skyscraper then zoom out to show the high tower in the city surroundings of Montreal.
Note: not sure if the mall is really below ground or above it, or both!
