The clip here shows a portion of Greenwich Village at night during the 1960s.
Begins with coverage of Times Square. Theater marquees are lit-up. Films being shown include "The 3 Outlaws," "The Finger Man," "The Trap," "The Endless Summer," "The Great Escape," and the Sean Connery-James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice."
We then follow a long tracking shot through Greenwich Village. The streets are bustling with people. We see the Cock -N- Bull, FUGS, and the Cafe Wha?.
A black man plays guitar and sings in a tiny venue. The small crowd sways, dances, and claps along, showing considerable enthusiasm for what they're hearing.
The camera passes the Pizza Plaza and other venues that appear to be busy on this particular evening.
