The Street of Forgotten Men
Live music by Donald Sosin
Easy Money Charlie makes a dishonest living duping swells out of their pocket change but when the girl he shielded from her past has her future threatened, a hero is revealed. Rich in colorful details of New York’s Bowery district this unassuming little gem from hit-maker Herbert Brenon also marks the debut of Louise Brooks.
