In what was probably considered to be an "Action Film" back in the 1920's, this short video above shows a horsecar plowing through parts of a busy Manhattan, narrowly avoiding pedestrians, other horsecars and brass-era cars. The vintage film shows 1920's Herald Square and the 6th Ave "El', Times Square and Broadway, dozens of lower Manhattan streets, and even Washington Square back when you could drive through the Arch.
