From the text:
"A Bronx Morning is a 1931 avant-garde film by American filmmaker Jay Leyda (1910–1988). Described as 'city symphony,' the eleven-minute European style film recorded a Bronx street in New York City before it is crowded with traffic... In 2004, A Bronx Morning was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'"

1931, a year after my father arrived in NY aged 10 from Italy, joining the rest of his family. I noted small pleasures, like Italian ice from a pushcart, and the battered shoes and clothing of some of the kids.
I love that New York, still palpable in the 60s in places like the Bronx.
Very kool. :)
