Visiting a Gone New York,
By
This review is from: Toots (DVD)
Toots Shor thought he had the greatest life in the world for most of his run, being a "saloonkeeper" in New York. His granddaughter's loving, but not blinded, tribute of a documentary shows the man through interviews with those who knew him well. Those on-camera recollections bring back a New York that is long gone, even though it was only 40 and 50-odd years ago. To judge by the interviews, it was a time when show business, news, sports and criminal celebrities mingled in restaurants with Joe Subway. And Shor hosted them all. That era, many of these people, and a good number of the buildings are no more, preserved only in works like these.Toots sneaked in and out of New York theaters in a very short run, but if it surfaces near you, and you are interested in one of New York's gone eras, it's a fine, funny and loving tribute. |
