This is actually 1931 given the films displayed on the theater marquees. Trader Horn, The Front Page and Dance Fool Dance all date from 1931. This would have been so easy to have checked.
I would have loved living in my hometown during this era. My Grandmother was 11yrs old, during this time, probably playing hopscotch. ☺️ (Uh oh…I’m showing my age, again) 🤣
Кажется, мы на Бродвее. Несколько дней назад я видел клип на RUclips - очень старое видео под названием "Таймc Сквер и Бродвей в 1929 году". И в этом примерно десятиминутном видео были спешащие по Бродвею люди и едущие машины. Все торопятся, стремясь куда-то попасть. Это было в 1929-м. Мне интересно, куда они попали? ~ Экхарт Толле
Well this southerner has only been to New York City once in 1986 so it's been awhile. Would like to go back some day, only to visit. I'm a country boy!
This is terrific, but as others have pointed out this is 1931. Another movie on a marquis was the pre-code “My Past” which was released in 1931 starring Bebe Daniel’s
This was early '31, when many people still thought it was just a bad recession, not a total collapse. Unemployment in '31 was around 15%. Which is bad, but not "collapse" bad, like it eventually got. When the depression TRULY hit was the next year, in 1932, when unemployment hit 23% and GDP completely cratered. 1932 was the worst year of the Depression. Also keep in mind that this is Broadway in New York City, a very prosperous area, in general. You wouldn't see many people suffering badly from the crash on Broadway, during any year of the Depression - the worst effects hit rural communities and poorer neighborhoods.
Is that all you thought about while watching this? You must be one of those people that has race on the brain 24/7. I can assure you there were plenty of black people up in Harlem dancing the night away at the same time this video was filmed.

This is actually from 1930. The movie playing at the Capitol Theater is "Dance, Fools, Dance" which is a 1930 Joan Crawford film, which was a big hit.
thanks very much for sharing a very historical 1929 Stroll Down Broadway at Times-Square I shared!
Before transistors and digital technology, it's amazing how they could make animated neons using only analogue methods - almost 100 years ago!! :O
they shoulda preserved them tbh
Unlike NYC today, at least the cars were MOVING!

This was in 1931. That’s when Dance, Fools, Dance, with Joan Crawford, came out.
Yes, the marquees seen generally have movies from 1931, along with at least one 1931 Broadway production.
Agree.
If this was 1931 and not 1929 like indicated for this footage, can't fool everyone.

It's crazy to think every person in this video has already passed
Maybe, my neighbor was born in 1925 and is still alive.
@@WILLYLYNCH. these people were already adults so I'm sure they've passed. Now the babies they might still be alive
@Retro Nomix yea born in 25, these old people in the video are way long gone
Every adult in film is hatted; and were they now alive, would be a centenarian. Cars are pre-aeronautiform, boxy with running boards.
Look at old ny not a crosswalk in sight. I bet tons of people were hit by cars

Did anybody in their wildest imagination predict the stock market crash in October of that year.
Robert Masina Yes, joe kennedy
Just like the stock market crash in 2020.

`Forget 1929, this was 1931.
Amazing you can hear the ahooga horns from the city traffic along with the streetcar Bell's.
How time goes by so fast i wonder how the future is going to look like flying car's
No lights, stop signs, lanes, or xwalks.....wow lucky u even come home every night
The people seem prosperous for 1931, two years after the Wall Street Crash.

What was this filmed on?
Good question 🧐
A movie camera, what else would it have been filmed on? You do know there were movies in the 20's and 30's, right?
Somebodys cell phone.
다 좋은데, 차 소리와 약간의 소음 빼고 사람들의 대화소리는 일절 들리지 않는다는게 약간 소름돋는다
it looks like 1920s 🤔
this is 1931 not 1929
Supper 1 DOLLAR. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not 1 Got Damn Black Person in sight 😂😂😂
