Wonderful Town (1958)

Directed by Herbert Ross, Mel Ferber

Overview

Ruth Sherwood and her sister, Eileen, have moved to 1935 Greenwich Village. They’re surrounded by colorful Village characters (including an out-of-work football player known as the Wreck, and Mr. Appopolous, a modern painter and their landlord) and embark on various New York adventures. Ruth, who’s trying to make it as a writer, meets up with a sleazy newspaper writer named Chick and a kindly editor named Bob, both of whom take an interest in both her career and her.
