Photographically, Manhattan is a film in which almost every shot is designed to expand its narrative meaning through pictorial composition.

In some ways, the Centennial celebrations this year have only reinforced this notion; Radcliffe for many has come to mean a group of old ladies who drink tea and reminisce about the good old days at the Quad...
