Making-of documentary about the 1933 musical, 42nd Street.

42nd STREET: RIVER TO RIVER is an impressionistic, graphic history of one of the world's most infamous streets: Manhattan's 42nd Street. Likened to a DNA strip of New York City, the street has ranged from the glamorous to the derelict, housing everything from peep shows to such international institutions as the United Nations. The documentary is an exploration of the street's expansion from the farmland where Washington bivouacked his troops to the flashy, commercial center that it is today. With historical information, musical performances and personal narratives, the film traces the rise, subsequent dilapidation, and eventual resurgence of a street that has come to represent a place where, notoriously, anything may and has happened. -from imdb.com

A few years back, Manhattan couple Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker inexplicably began receiving children’s letters to Santa Claus at their Chelsea apartment. In 2010, what had been a trickle turned into a tide, with Glaub and Parker receiving more than 400 letters—many from children who pleaded with Santa to give them the Christmas their parents couldn’t afford. Filmmaker Sarah Klein (co-founder of the production house Redglass Pictures with Tom Mason) found out about the letters, and followed Glaub and Parker’s efforts to turn a freak occurrence into an opportunity to spread holiday cheer.

As part of a publicity campaign for the film 42nd Street (1933), Warner Bros. Pictures, with the assistance of the General Electric Corporation, assembled a 7-car gold- and silver-plated train they called "The 42nd. Street Special". With numerous Warner Bros. contract stars as passengers, the train made a tour across the USA. It was scheduled to make stops in more than 100 cities, ending in Washington, D.C. for the March 1933 inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This short film records the send-off for this trip from Los Angeles' Santa Fe Station. Using a microphone set up on the rear platform of the last car, several people addressed the crowd attending the event. Those making remarks include performers, studio executives, and the mayor of Los Angeles.
