Review of On the Bowery (1957) by Mark F — 06 Mar 2008
It's a pity Altman wasn't around to show Rogosin how to overlap dialogue; much of what was said was incomprehensible, although given the quasi-documentary nature of the film, this may have been unavoidable.
Still, a good, naturalistic snapshot of the Bowery in the mid-'50s that made me want to re-read Low Life. A number of beautiful, haunting shots of the denizens of the bar where a significant portion of the film takes place.
