Schley Ride to series

This 1960s travelog film by Norman Schley, a filmmaker from Waukesha, Wisconsin USA, who made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue inc." The film is presented in a two-part series about a journey through western Europe.
Part 1: This installment highlights the cultural and architectural wonders of London, Dublin, Belfast, and some German cities like East and West Berlin, Cologne, and Frankfurt. The film consists of a montage of clips taken from car, plane, and train windows.
Part 2: This particular installment highlights the cultural and architectural wonders of Austria, Germany, Italy. (Not France, whatever the film's summary says.) The film opens with a map of Western Europe highlighting the traveler’s route. The film then displays a montage of clips taken from car and train windows as they travel. The film was photographed by Norman E. Schley himself. A script was written for this film by Bohn Bakke, but here it is presented without narration.
