★★★★ · Great fun and a vicarious thrill. · kerriganm · 2015-07-13
Fun look at the "post-war" night club scene in New York. If, like me, you've seen tantalizing glimpses of the big night clubs in books and movies of the time, you'll get a thrill here. El Morrocco! Copacabana! The 21 Club! (Excuse the brag- I've actually had lunch at 21! Gloat!) Unfortunately, the only famous face that will ring bells today is that of Orson Welles. I'd like to have done more star-spotting here. The backstage look at these Meccas is fascinating. Too bad these days are gone.
Use of film in documentary · mlarraya · 2025-05-27
Hello. I am a spanish filmmaker and I am very interested in using parts of this film in a documentary set in the 1950s that I am working on at this moment. Could you help me find the owner of the rights and provide some contact information. Thank you.
