Looking SE down West 42nd Street, New York City, USA in 1955. The Bryant Theater is showing ‘The Bridges of Toko-Ri’, a Korean War movie starring Grace Kelly and William Holden. In the far distance is the famous art deco Chrysler Building skyscraper. Brightly lit by neon, it is the hub of the Broadway Theatre District. This image is from an old Kodak colour transparency taken by an amateur photographer – a vintage 1950s photograph.
Looking SE down West 42nd Street, New York City, USA in 1955. The Bryant Theater is showing ‘The Bridges of Toko-Ri’, a Korean War movie starring Grace Kelly and William Holden. In the far distance is the famous art deco Chrysler Building skyscraper. This district is the entertainment area of Midtown Manhattan. Brightly lit by neon, it is the hub of the Broadway Theatre District. Sadly, the Bryant Theater became an adult movie cinema. This image is from an old Kodak colour transparency taken in challenging light conditions by an amateur photographer. It will look soft and grainy if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s photograph.
