“Great to be able to see this film again and again. I was at Expo 67 when I was six and at Man and His World a few times after that. I love the optimism and sense of potential it suggests.” — mstrobl1, 1 Dec 2011
“Thank-you for posting this wonderful film. Although I was a newborn when Expo was on, my parents took us (twins), to Montreal and left us with a babysitter so they could visit Expo. The lines were too long for them to go inside any building on site, but they had a really great time wandering around looking at everything outside and did manage to take a tour inside Habitat. Because I was born that year, I feel very attached to Expo 67 and love all of the architecture and design of that era. Thanks again:)” — waterdock@yahoo.ca, 25 Feb 2010
