Narrator: The worst part of the Dutch climate is the weather.
This thoroughly charming documentary made me wish the whole world were Dutch.
The shots were filmed with a hidden camera and give an intimate, humorous view of the Dutch circa 1964 at work and play in all seasons.
The editing of this film is fantastic and the cinematography nice and crisp on You Tube. I was delighted the entire time. The carnival and beach scenes are particularly wonderful. Recommended.
The Human Dutch was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary, Feature.
