This elegant and absorbing documentary tells the story of Coney Island from its emergence in the mid-1800's as America's premier playground, through the glorious heyday of the parks, to its demise after World War II. Featuring rare archival photographs and dazzling newsreel footage, the film includes re-enactments of the Boer War, and the burning of Dreamland in 1907. It captures the invention and spirit of a new age, when Coney Island became "the unofficial capital of the new mass culture."
