Director Paul Morrissey, long-time associate of Andy Warhol and creator of such films as Trash, Frankenstein, Dracula, and Heat, takes us on a journey through a different sort of jungle: the streets of New York. Forty-Second Street is FortyDeuce, as the junkies, hookers, dope dealers and con men affectionately call it. The film is divided into two sections: the first presents the street scene and its participants; the second is set in an ugly hotel room, where most of the action takes place. An extremely original piece of work, which may shock and outrage some, and delight others.
