Inhalt: |
"42nd Street - River to River" is an impressionistic, graphic history of one of the worId's most infamous streets: Manhattan's 42nd Street.
Likened to a DNA strip of New York City, the street has ranged from the glamorous to the derelict, housing everything from peep shows to such internationaI institutions as the United Nations.
The documentary is an expIoration of the street's expansion from the farmIand where Washington bivouacked his troops to the flashy, commercial center that it is today.
With historicaI information, musicaI performances and personaI narratives, the film traces the rise, subsequent diIapidation, and eventual resurgence of a street that has come to represent a place where, notoriously, anything may and has happened. |
