‘The City ‘ (1939) is a pioneering short documentary film which attempts to contrast the evils of the industrialized city with the idyllic conditions one finds in small-town America.
It was adapted by Lewis Mumford from the story by Pare Lorentz , and was directed by Ralph Steiner and Willard Van Dyke , with music by Aaron Copland . According to Peter Oberlander and Eva Newbrun, the film was the idea of Catherine Bauer . It was produced for the 1939 New York World’s Fair as part of the “City of Tomorrow” exhibit.
