Great vid.

The spotlight-that-becomes-a-closi­ng-eye at 2:30-2:33 -- is that a clip from the cult teevee show "The Prisoner"?

And the two Rich Old Ladies at 2:00-2:05 are a very famous photo by a Famous Photographer -- a name-brand, like a Steichen or a Weegee or a Walker Evans -- but who?

And am I right in thinking it's heavily cropped here, and that in the whole image, there's also a raggedy-looking guy off to one side who's staring at them? And that it's a Depression-era shot?

tia 4 any help

Nope - the spotlight-eye is from Powell and Pressburger's 'A Matter of Life and Death' but you're spot on with the two old women: it's a photograph by Weegee called The Critic. There's two versions of the image: 1 with a raggedy woman clutching a bottle of wine (later discovered to be set up by the photographer), and another with the woman and a theatre queue (all with their backs to camera) on the other side. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

There's two versions of the image: 1 with a raggedy woman clutching a bottle of wine to the right (later discovered to be set up by the photographer), and another with the woman and a theatre queue to the left (all with their backs to camera). Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
