New York 1951
Description
Dr. James Fox tells the story of New York in 1951, where the world we know today was born. This was the year when Jackson Pollock brought a new dynamism to American painting, when the dazzling jazz style known as bebop pioneered by Thelonious Monk hit its stride, and when Jack Kerouac defined the Beat Generation with his book “On the Road.” It was where a young Marlon Brando took cinema by storm, a dapper Brit named David Ogilvy reinvented advertising, and modern television arrived with a live broadcast of the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers battling for the National League Pennant. A BBC Production.
