“Street thugs, scrappy immigrants, uptown swells, and a keen Irish bargeman who wants a better life for himself. Allan Dwan’s love letter to New York makes stops at the city’s storied spots, packing in all the color and verve of the place that by the ‘20s had already burnished its own mythology as somewhere anyone with a lot of grit and a bit of luck could rise from its bustling slums to its spacious drawing rooms.” – San Francisco Silent Film Festival
