Great, great footage! And perfect music to capture the sweet nostalgic melancholy of a lost world swept away by "redevelopment" that has drained all the fascinating quirkiness and personality out of the area. Thank you!
I TOTALLY AGREE. Thank you. Such a rush goes through me remembering the excitement and nervousness entering a porn theater In my younger days....have a beautiful SEX FILLED life everyone ❤!!!!!!!!!! Jeff the Gringoman.

Nostalgia...the boy was bouncing off the wall at the beginning. He was procrastinating about going in the theatre."should i?I? Shouldn't i?? Hmmm....what a place..imagine being the mop guy in those places?
I would do anything to go back to the Time's Square of the 70's. I'm a complete film nut, every porno was shown in theatre's like The Avon and Rialto. Glory days.
back in 1973 my parents bought a two family brownstone in park slope Brooklyn for 70 thousand dollars....I was 7 years old, today the same brownstone is 6 million....I am good!...I wish I could Go back as a man not as a seven year old boy.....I would be super rich.
1978 was Great, too. "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" and "Saturday Night Fever" had come out the year before. There was the Van Craze. Folks weren't spooked about AIDS yet. I was a Senior in High School. Was lucky enough to go on my class trip to the Bahamas. Four to a hotel room, two to a bed. Didn't score though...and, then, no time in premed. ))-; I could actually get it up back then!
@@drpoundsign I couldn't get through TCM's recent goodbar broadcast but at the time I loved Diane Keaton's acting. and I still remember a brief reflection scene of her in a car as another car headlight passes by.
Gee, after watching this, one gets reminiscent of the pimps, chicken hawks, prostitutes and druggies who lingered in every doorway on the great white way

When Times Square was magical..
geographically it is and will always be magical ... barring a major shift in polar magnetic fields
@@CinemaVII LOL. Its corporate now. The 70s and 80s was the true New York.

WOW!!! The good ole' old days. Loved them then and miss them now.
The hope and optimism of America at the time was incredible. I don't feel that anymore.
This song is too much!! What a great song to accompany this fantastic footage!
We agree! It's by Irving Berlin, in a slower arrangement style that began, perhaps, with the Streisand Happy Days are Here Again
Like a different world when you watch old film from 1900 thru the 50s
The kid we see at the very beginning, and hanging around outside the red bldg, is seen again and again throughout the video, right?
well, yes, that is Edward DiMaio, see him in a frame by frame review of his prior film, The Ruins! th-cam.com/video/sCQ6DqVjktg/w-d-xo.html

Edward was acting...
I see a Mop Guy Tee in my future. I love it!
The mop guy never got tips he usually got stiffed
I expected to see Travis Bickle in the background
He was campaigning for Abe Beame
I love that sign at 0:28. I can't bring the wife, she thinks I'm visiting my sick mother.

the skeletons of the past are still there...
