On The Bowery (1956) - The 1950s Get Real

The 1956 docudrama ON THE BOWERY is about as raw as you can get in its examination of New York City's infamous neighborhood the Bowery. Produced and directed by first time film maker Lionel Rogosin, On The Bowery pulls no punches in showing viewers this world populated by men on the edge of society.

Featuring real life Bowery residents Ray Salyer and Gorman Hendricks, this is a true life look at three days and nights in the life of the men who populate the Bowery.

On The Bowery strips away all the usual ideas we have of the 1950s, and gets down to the gritty truth of life.

Here are two other videos that cover other aspects of life in 1950s New York City.
