LITTLE OLD NEW YORK (1940)

In the 1800s, American inventor Robert Fulton (Richard Greene) travels from Europe to New York intent on building a steamboat that will revolutionize river travel between waterfront boroughs but instead gets a rude welcome from a vicious shipyard boss at a local tavern owned by salty beauty Pat O'Day (Alice Faye). Pat takes a shine to Fulton and offers to help him out, but her jealous boyfriend -- sailor Charles Brownne (Fred MacMurray) -- fears the new vessel will put him out of work.

These films were originally produced long before the advent of High Definition TV, therefore they are best viewed on a small screen. HD TVs tend to stretch and skew the picture. Set your HD TV on 4:3 aspect ratio. (That was the old TV format). Please do not expect DVD or Commercial level DVDs from these films.
