I'm 13 and I love the song Puttin' on the Ritz, own a newsboy cap, love Gone with the Wind, loved this video, and wish I lived in the 1930's!

Great video...wish the Bronx and Northern Manhattan were shown a little longer...it seems anything North of 125th is almost an afterthought when talking about "NYC"...
-
This was originally released in 1932; a similar short in this series, "Manhattan Medley", was released a year earlier.

I'm 18 and this looks like a dream to me! :D If only I had been born 80 years ago lol

It is the Broadway IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) train running from South Ferry to Van Courtlandt Park.

And as for the debauchery, I'm sure a lot of the men in the 30's wouldn't have much of a problem with it. Even if they complained about it vocally, it would be a guilty pleasure for them.

No seriously, this is 7 minutes of video with music and no sound. We could easily do the same thing in 2010, even use the same areas of the city, and send them back in a time machine to the 1930's, and hide all the economic problems, the social/racial/political tension, and the debauchery, and the people of the 30's would think it's a utopia. The only thing they might wonder about is the obesity, but they'd probably just think "looks like they are eating in the 21st century."

It's hard to believe that this is New York City. It looks so pristine.

Wonderfully evocative! tvdays, your channel is an absolute treasure, one of the jewels in youtube's crown!
Many, many thanks for all the great vids!
