The film, Rogosin's first feature was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
After the Second World War, Lionel Rogosin made a vow to fight fascism and racism wherever he found it.
In 1954, he left the family business, the Beaunit Mills- American Rayon Corporation, in order to make films in accordance with his ideals.
As he needed experience, he looked around for a subject and was struck by the plight of the men on the Bowery, and he determined that a portrayal of their daily lives on the streets and in the bars of the New York City neighborhood would make a strong film.
