London-New York

First transmitted in 1957, this edition of Eye to Eye compares scenes from London and New York. It is narrated by harmonica player Larry Adler who also wrote the soundtrack.

First transmitted in 1957, this episode of Eye to Eye spans the Atlantic. The result is a wryly observed and evocative portrait of London, "a great place to live in but a hell of a place to visit", and New York which "is a great place to visit but a hell of a place to live in." Harmonica player Larry Adler's specially written soundtrack interprets scenes from the two great cities with piano accompaniment from Tom McCall.
