I really would have like to study this film but its just unwatchable its to fast. I would have love to show it off to my students. Sad to see something so good so damage. It would have been an amazing historical film of New York City I think no one has,

It was filmed at a rate of one frame every few seconds so unfortunately there's no way to slow it down to "normal" speed. If you're interested you can examine each frame for interesting features.

why is this so fast?

[kmoser]

It was filmed at about one frame per second, to give that Benny Hill effect.

Wow. I love it. Less people, less cars, and less stress. I miss the good old days.

Huh, I actually really like the "fast" style of the film. It's like something out of the 1920s with Charlie Chaplin, but the fact that it's set 60 years later than that makes it kind of mentally jarring. It's a neat mind-bender.

It's a shame you're playing this movie so damn fast man. I was living in NYC in 1985 and i would have loved to watch this film at normal speed.
