Edwin S. PorterWhat Happened on Twenty-Third Street, New York City (1901)
The corner of 23rd Street and 6th Avenue was renowned for its gusty breezes that might allow a man to catch a glimpse of a woman's stockings. In this staged scene we see Alfred Abadie, an Edison cameraman, and Florence Georgie strolling along when Georgie has a Marilyn Monroe type moment.
This film was restored by the Library of Congress and was copied at 16fps from 35mm.
