Genre: Documentary From award-winning producers Ric Burns and Lisa Ades (The Donner Party, The Way West, New York), Coney Island is a lively and absorbing portrait of the extraordinary amusement empire that astonished, delighted, and shocked the nation — and took Americans from the Victorian age into the modern world. Rare and never-seen-before archival photography, dazzling newsreel footage from the turn of the century, interviews, and quotes of the day read off-camera by Eli Wallach, Frances Sternhagen, George Plimpton, Judd Hirsch, Lois Smith, Vincent Gardenia, Jerry Orbach, and others tell the story of what one writer has called "the unofficial capital of the new mass culture."
