Soundie - Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Queens (ca. early 1940s)
An amazing short by an 'orchestra' of vibraphone players. Some viewers have noted that this film seems to be a mirror image of how things are supposed to be. This is because original Soundie films were printed backwards so that they could appear correct when played in the Panoram machine (an early film jukebox).
Kosher meat slaughter, inspection, and butchering; shoppers in Stroh and Goldberg butcher shops. Probably filmed in New York City. CONTENT ADVISORY: Disturbing slaughterhouse scenes.
Classic drama which details the Great Plains during the Depression. With Cinematography by Leo Hurwitz, Ralph Steiner, Paul Ivano and Paul Strand. Selected for the 1999 National Film Registry of 'artistically, culturally, and socially significant' films.
