<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>One of the most significant of all American independent films, Lionel
Rogosin’s 1956 docudrama chronicles three days in the heart of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place>’s
infamous skid row. In the nineteenth century, the Bowery was an elegant
place of large mansions and respectable theater. But when the elevated trains
came in, the Bowery became known as the place for low rents and cheap drinks.
Rogosin’s film follows a <font color=black><span style='color:black'>down-and-out
</span></font>railroad worker as he navigates the saloons and flophouses of
“the saddest and maddest street in the world” and meets several
Bowery regulars. From the beginning, Rogosin’s style as a filmmaker
was straightforward and compassionate. His films, made “from the
inside,” showed the subjects he chose in their normal surroundings and
allowed them to speak in their own words. By focusing on ordinary people caught
up in universal problems—homelessness, racial discrimination, war and
peace, labor relations, and poverty—Rogosin made his point poignantly. <font
color=black><span style='color:black'> Nominated for an Oscar and selected
for </span></font>the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry<font
color=black><span style='color:black'>, ON THE BOWERY<b><span style='font-weight:

documentary and fiction.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
