Synopsis
A New York City street artist witnesses a crime and resolves to redeem his earlier inaction. A silent film in pantomime, this early work by director Charles Lane brings a unique deftness and grace to its social realist narrative. He would later revisit this theme in his next film Sidewalk Stories (1989).
