Arrival in the Bronx is shown with a view from an elevated train as it enters the city. Then follows a montage of sights from the Bronx. Many typical neighborhood activities are shown, along with scenes from many local businesses.
A camera on an elevated train enters the Bronx. We look down at morning activity. Three title cards tell us, "The Bronx does business ... and the Bronx lives ... on the street." We look in store windows, at fruit and vegetables on display, and at a newsstand. We see shops and shoppers, carts and autos. A truck dumps coal; the iceman cometh. Drying clothes hang on lines strung between buildings. Women push prams; children look down from balconies, a woman leans out an open window. The streets are busy. Children play dice, stickball, and hopscotch. An ice-cream pushcart arrives. There are cats, dogs, and pigeons. The camera goes to a rooftop for a panorama. - Розваги

Film is literature...
This piece of film is poetry...
Very nice, thanks.
Thanks

Before the post WW 2 demographic shifts made large parts of the Bronx unlivable by the late 1960's.
So sad because all those children and people passed away 😪
I immediately shut the sound so the film could be viewed as intended. Silence is the Answer.
Hard to believe the small children and babies if they are alive are now in their 90s.
I'm sure you have seen this, well worth watching, a favourite of mine, Man with a Movie Camera (1929) Dziga Vertov
I don’t think I have. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
yes, search the Mosfilm archive..

filmed the same Year that Michael Rockefeller disappeared in the same area.
Interesting artifact. Shows sensitivity but holds too tight on to one 'thing'.
Ironic, the narrator extols the virtues of silent film but runs his mouth during the entire film.
Not sure he had an option to record in those days. There was portable sound technology but it was pretty clunky (Edison's first recording device was a long time before this).
OK, why if "silence is louder than words" is there an added voice-over?
The Bronx isn't a city it's a borough.
Don't y'all be fooled by the ...niceities! Cos just round the corner,the mafia sits waits n watches as gunfire is heard in every speakeasy in town!
Whoa, whoa there tuff guy. Take it easy, before I smack ya one. I outta, let me tell ya there babalubbie.
Great video Mr Video man.
They only went after their own, no woman or children were harmed. Kids can walk the streets without any problems. Seems like everybody but you knows the common denominator here.

It is thee that needs to research!
If only you knew how many none mafia people's lives were ruined by the mafia.
It was comply or a bullet.
It is people like you that fantasy what they stood for.
Go look it up.
Thee has been educated.
This would have been a great watch…if only the narrator shut his mouth!
Wow. No graffiti, garbage or punks on every corner. What happened? Oh I forgot. Never mind.
Aren’t you cute with your dog whistle. I’ve lived in the Bronx for 45 years. It’s doing great, thanks.
@@derekprospero stop with the '"Progressive" dog whistle crap. My grandparents, parents and I are all from the Bronx, starting in 1908. Morris Ave., Fairmount Place, St Mary's Park, Beekman Ave. It's doing great on the Lower Concourse, Mosholu Pkwy and Riverdale. Even the Little Italy in Tremont is caving to the new Mob from Armenia. I preferred the old Mob, who kept tabs on the street thugs.
@@michaelmeltzer3397 Oh we all know what you meant, and why you didn't say it. That "old mob" you prefer were just a different flavor of scumbag that extorted hard working Italian-Americans like my father and grandfather. And what tabs? Things were horrible. Today I can walk from Fordham to Pelham, day or night, without any concern. You'd be crazy to do that in the 1980s. Check the crime stats--- they've plummeted across the board . But I guess facts are woke now. Like I said, we all know what you meant.
Not a great video. Very few images that would tell you this is the Bronx.
Terrible shows hardly any streets. Just close up’s of people. Worst Bronx film I ever saw.
Just another awful “restoration”.
Thanks for the feedback. Hey, I did my best with those ancient pixels. If you can conjure up a pristine original, I’ll happily give it another shot! Until then, I’ll just be appreciating your helpful input
Pretentious and boring
