I saw this on Turner Classic Movies, and I was fairly interested. It was not what you might typically think of a "classic" movie, but I thought it was important for historical value, if nothing else.
New York is probably the most-filmed city in the world, with Los Angeles and Vancouver not far behind. But even if you've never been to New York, you know the skyline. To see it here 60 years ago was a real treat, and I especially liked how it showed that the United Nations building was not built yet, and the hopes they had for its use. How that has fared is now open to debate.
For how short it is, I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in New York, history, or is planning to go to New York... a great way to get excited for the trip.
