The result is harrowing and heartrending, and all the more so when you realize that the people on the screen died mostly miserable deaths, with only this little-known work of art to memorialize them.

The film is a fascinating bit of Americana, an indelible portrait of another time and place...stunning

Shot on Manhattan's virtually resurrected street of broken persons, the film is a snapshot of gin mills, flophouses and human wrecks, once known as "winos" for their addiction to cheap, fortified wine.

It's a pity Altman wasn't around to show Rogosin how to overlap dialogue; much of what was said was incomprehensible, although given the quasi-documentary nature of the film, this may have been unavoidable. Still, a good, naturalistic snapshot of the Bowery in the mid-'50s that made me want to re-read Low Life. A number of beautiful, haunting shots of the denizens of the bar where a significant portion of the film takes place.

Shot on 16mm in black-and-white with a Bolex camera, the results remain stunningly authentic.
