Sound and video footage of 1929 NYC. 1929 was also the year of the Stock Market crash which led the U.S. into the Great Depression of the 1930s. I don't know if this video was filmed after the crash but it seems to be cold weather and there's a part in the video where people are moving furniture and belongings out of a tenant flat. Maybe someone being evicted from their home? This was two years after the first motion picture talkie, Al Jolson's, "The Jazz Singer", (1927).
I suspect at that point, the transition from silents to talkies was all but complete. Also, it turns out that at least part of it (see 3:54) was shot before the crash, since the visit by British PM Ramsay MacDonald happened on October 4, 1929, mere weeks before the crash. It's possible that parts were shot later, but it would appear that even by the year's end, the Great Depression wasn't quite as bad as it would be in 1930. Even if it was shot after, it would still likely be pre-disaster.
