Bronx and Manhattan have their documentary short films too, so Harlem shall also have one. "In the Street" is a 16-minute black-and-white movie from 1948, so this one will soon have its 70th anniversary and it depicts the life in New York shortly after World War II. The most impressive thing about this movie is probably that there were no less than 3 directors working on these 16 minutes and all three of them became Academy Award nominees not much later, two of them for the same project. So yeah, this one here may be a good watch for people living in the area and of course for those who recognize themselves as child in here, but everybody else is not missing much. I do not agree with the National Film Registry that this is a film that stands out for whatever reason. Not recommended.
