Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
The intersection at 72nd Street and Broadway in New York City becomes a microcosm of human interaction. Philip Slater (society watcher) and Lewis Thomas, M.D. (biology watcher) discuss the paradoxical nature of man's personality and behavioral patterns,--the struggle between individualism and collectivity, independence and dependence. In this anthopological study, systems and institutions which provide order and control are analyzed as well as the unconscious gestures and modes of etiquette which human beings impose on themselves.
