New York in the Twenties

Sun, Apr 2, 1961

Hosted and narrated by Walter Cronkite, it's filled with abundant film footage of the era, including shots of lots of famous names. There are three interviewees: Alfred A. Knopf, publisher; Marc Connelly, playwright; and Stanley Walker, longtime editor of the Herald Tribune. Seen in archival footage: Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, Heywood Hale Broun, George Jean Nathan and many others. We get sound footage of Fannie Brice singing, "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling" and Helen Morgan singing "My Bill." George Gershwin is seen and heard rehearsing a musical number, "Strike Up the Band," with comic team Clark and McCullough. And legendary club owner Texas Guinan ("Hello, suckers!") is seen and heard entertaining the crowd. No mention of the Harlem Renaissance, though.
