HISTORY AND SCIENCE New Yorkers |

A portrait of a New York neighborhood, centered around East 77th Street and its immediate surroundings. The film captures the flavor of this area, made up of a white population from the very rich on 5th Avenue to the ordinary citizens as you proceed towards the East River which was known as the Dead End. In 1970 this was a neighborhood in transition, as developers were moving in and changing the landscape. A bicycle shop owner, a rabbi, a butcher, an astrologist, a banker and his family are among the people we meet. |
