Broadway by Light (William Klein - 1958)





A fantastic film by William Klein. I have heard of this film, but I haven't seen it till now.  Mostly I know his photographs through his various classic photo books - all, beautifully designed by the way.  Nevertheless, this is a superb film.  I have the collection that Criterion put out, and in France there is a much larger box-set of his film works.  And i imagine this film is in that collection.  Boy-oh-boy, this is a treat.
