john cassavette decide a his first film and obviously a one shot on a shoestring in new york and to not even have a script with dialog and and delivers a 1959 feature equivalent of larry david curb your enthusiasm all the actor know what to do and say and even have the right look in their eye when they talk . in other word and it one of the most realistic look at the beat generation and jazz sweetly in it score and tell a tale of racial tension . a group of black sibling be the center point and with one try to get good gig than the average strip club and and have a sister and much more light skin than him and who get entwine with a white man in a relationship and which shatters both side . the film and however and isn not exclusively about that while cassavettes like to have his character wander around new york city ( which not many film do in 1959/1960 ) and his style of storytelling be like that of the improvisational jazz artist of the day . date and to be sure and but worth a glance for film buff while martin scorsese name this a one of his heavy influence .
