How bizarre, it kinda looks like The Documentary That Almost Never Was. Filmed at a 1960s black & white ghost estate.
And thanks to Snarky I have found the missing title for The Greatest Motion Picture Of The 20th Century. I just felt, I just knew that there was a very special one that I hadn't found.

It is interesting how all this talk of "28 years ago" makes it sound like another galaxy far, far away. Today, 28 years ago seems less distant (unless, I guess, if you're a kid). Mainstream media, the Internet, and whatever else has made the past, especially the comparatively recent past (and the things from it) seem accessible somehow.
1995 doesn't really feel terribly much like ancient history in the way they're referencing 1937.
The timing seems perfect. You can bifurcate the decade -- and almost the century -- with that strange, jagged line that runs down the center of the '60s. And this doc is on the cusp of both halves.
I'm not sure how any of that applies, but it sounds relevant.
