The Show Must Go On - Civil Rights, Bank Scams and NYC Ghettos
Tom Robinson is hard core. And that's why I love him. He will be stomping through the snow to bring you tonight’s Free Monday Movie, Banks and the Poor. If you are out and lonely and need a roaring fire, some 16mm vintage film and a slice of Pizza, hop on the number 6 or 72 and get here! Show starts at 8PM.
Banks And The Poor, 59 Min., B/W, 1969 . Exposes role of bank investment and loan practices in maintaining slums and ghettos. Reviews publicity campaign of 80 New York banks that promised to create a 100 million dollar mortgage lending pool to improve ghetto housing-a pledge they failed to fulfill, although bank investments in a poor person trying to get a bank loan, and usurious practices of loan companies to which poor must turn.
