Movietone's cameramen originally took this film for their humorous "looney lens" series. I have "de-looneyed" it, so that it's now just a series of shots taken at a New York City elevated station in 1927. The original film is silent, but I have added some sound from a vintage sound-effects record. Two nice things about this film: the passengers appear to be unaware of the camera (perhaps it was concealed); and the passengers come from all walks of life--the laborer with his lunch box mingles with the fur coats and the bowlers. The film was taken at the 33rd Street station of the Sixth Avenue Elevated, downtown platform.
