Newly restored by George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film

Dir. Paul Fejos. 1928, 69 mins.

A simple story of boy meets girl in the big city is at the core of Hungarian émigré Paul Fejos’s late-silent-era dazzler, expressionistically filmed on New York locations, with a Coney Island trip capturing the excitement of the couple’s courtship. This new restoration includes three scenes with dialogue, a synchronous music score, and color tinting. 

Free with museum admission.
