...asked him over to the house and told him she wanted to do a musical based on his songs. He said yes, then stepped aside and let Tharp go to town on Movin' Out, a two-act dance musical built around a couple dozen of his songs (not just Uptown Girl and Captain Jack, but some of his classical compositions as well), linking them loosely with a story that spans two decades in the lives of three Long Island buddies and the women in their lives...
...other, weirder film is "Makers of Melody," an early-talkie (1929) short that purports to depict R&Hart's laborious, five-year rise from uptown anonymity to midtown stardom. (An little irony: after shooting the film, R&Hart went to Hollywood, where, with the exception of the buoyant "Love Me Tonight" and the ambitious misfire "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum," they spent another five, largely frustrating years.)

...Above Fifth Avenue, Looking North,” a 1905 print by Underwood & Underwood, depicts a man with a camera sitting precariously at the intersection of two steel beams above Fifth Avenue. Carriages stream uptown on the street below him. The tallest building, superimposed against a bright sky in the distance, does not exceed twenty stories. The central figure, the cameraman, looks west, but the actual photographer looks north. But in some sense the fictional and real artists actually gaze towards the future of New York City...
