This episode of John Nesbitt's THE PASSING PARADE concerns itself with the Bowery, Manhattan's skid row, and a man who finds himself walking its soul-desolate streets. Nesbitt always was in charge of the subject and his narration, but director Gunther von Fritsch went down to the Bowery with cameraman William Miller, and shot the scenes there.
The Bowery has changed in the last couple of decades. Before then, it had maintained its seedy reputation for more than a century.
