Remembering Chicago (1994)

A Nostalgic Look at Chicago in the 1920s, '30s and '40s

A nostalgic yet energetic look at a bygone chapter in Chicago history: the 1920s and '30s, when city life was far less threatening than it is today. More than 30 Chicagoans, including Irv Kupcinet, Studs Terkel, Shirley Belle Cole and Chuck Schaden share their heartfelt memories of Chicago. Snapshots and original music from that period accompany the narrative, depicting an era when life was simple -- a streetcar to the Loop was 7 cents, and a box of popcorn at the Marbro cost a nickel.
