| Description: | Some of the footage is damaged "Above and Below". New York traffic causes delays in package deliveries, so an underground freight service does good business. New York, NY, USA Shot from high building looking down at cars driving down street in New York City; pan up, looking away on down the street. (This isn't a very convincing choice for the story's premise because for NYC the street is practically empty!). Interior shot, quite dim: warehouse workers pushing carts w/ boxes, labelling crates, etc.etc. Most of the rest of the film is too damaged to even try to describe, although there is a glimpse, looking through an arched entrance into tunnel system, of trucks packed w/ boxes going past. | |
