Thank you for the link; I found myself looking for "decisive moments" all through it!

Amusing to see an ad for Washington Crisps (an early brand in the corn flake/chip market) below a stencil for Cross English Gloves/Leather Goods. Presumably New Yorkers of the time knew what crisps were. How veddy British of them! :)

Amazing! And everyone is so well-dressed, apart from the occasional worker on a horse-drawn carriage. ;D

It's from traditional personal pride in keeping up a fine appearance, something later discouraged by a certain political wing as being class discriminatory and snobbish.
Rejoice in trainers and baseball caps, the egalitarian route to anonymity, even more the great levellers than a pocket pistol.

I don't ever remember seeing my paternal grandfather (b. 1886)—a quintessential New Yorker whose tastes were formed in early 20th Century Manhattan—except in a starched white shirt and tie. On the hottest of summer Sunday afternoons, when visiting our house in suburban New Jersey, he might remove his jacket and carefully roll up his shirtsleeves ever-so-slightly. But I don't recall him ever even loosening the tie.
Apropos of the film, itself, I thought the motion was smoothed out very effectively. And assuming the YouTuber is an amateur and not a professional foley artist, he did a rather good job with the sound track.

He sure did. Excellent sound edit.
