This Is New York (1960)
Added 2021-11-11 16:32:31 +0000 UTCThis delightful 16mm film is faded but retains its charm. So much has changed about New York, and yet other things remain the same. Adapted from the book of the same name by Miroslav Sasek, this film was produced by Weston Woods.

2021-11-12 05:47:01 +0000 UTCOh Fran, this was wonderful in so many ways! I grew up in NYC, I watched Sonny Fox on his show "Wonderama" (he died only this year, at age 95) and everything this kid narrating said just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. The New York City that I remember is long gone. Thank you for sharing this with us! Your film archives are just full of incredible finds!
