★★★★ · Kismet! · Spuzz · 2015-06-06

The best part of this is definitely the first part, where after a bit of stumbly beginning, they go into new york, and transfix on the wonderful marquees there.. Kismet! Frenchman's Creek! Mexican Hayride! (not the movie, the musical!) a cbs radio show. heck they even catch a great stage show at Radio City Music Hall! From there, it's some sort of celebration / commemeration at the United Nations (?) The film then says "The End" but then keeps on going with a trip to Washington! This is a bit more rawer footage, seems to have more shaky takes.. maybe editing later? Great stuff... reccomended!
