Info

In certain sections of New York City large numbers of Jewish and Italian push-cart vendors congregate so closely along the sidewalks that they interfere with traffic. Policemen keep them moving. The picture shows how the frightened peddlers hurry away when a bluecoat appears. Some of the carts are piled high with fruits of all kinds, and it is interesting and amusing to see the expressions of combined fear and anxiety on the faces of the men as they hurry away; the fear of being arrested if they stand, and of losing some of their wares if the carts strike an obstruction in the street. Very fine photographically. (Edison film company catalog)

Move On Audience Reviews

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Michael_Elliott Move On (1903) *** (out of 4) Nice film from Edison was shot in New York's Lower East Side as we see several street merchants selling fruits and various other items. Everything is pretty uneventful until a cop shows up demanding one vendor to leave. At just under two-minutes there's certainly nothing here that's going to entertain modern viewers but I think film and history buffs should at least be entertained by what's here. As is the case with most of these old movies, they're mainly going to appeal to those who enjoy seeing how things looked back in 1903. I found the scenery to be quite beautiful in its own way and it's certainly fascinating seeing how these street market was worked. We get to see several people as they go about their day and there's also a good look at some old automobiles as well as several type of street carts. I'm not sure if the cop sequence was staged or not but if not then things certainly have changed in the past one-hundred years.
JoeytheBrit This Thomas Edison flick shows a busy market scene, apparently in or near the Bowery and Second Avenue in New York. Fruit peddlars line the street in such density that they interfere with traffic, meaning that the police have to move in and send them on their way. The Edison catalogue identifies the peddlars as Jewish and Italian. It's an interesting if unremarkable scene. I saw two versions, the original and one, bizarrely, one in slow motion with a recording of Yes, We Have No Bananas. In terms of detail that can be seen, the slo-mo version was the more interesting of the two. Considering it's less than two minutes long it's worth a look. (Can you say 'padding'?)
