The USA release of Karl Grune's expressionistic film Die Straße (1923)

"There comes a moment in the life of nearly every man, be he good or bad, when appalled by the monotony and drabness of his daily life, his soul yearns for something different - he longs for the unknown, for the glamour and excitement he imagines to be the lot of other man; the man in the street."

A middle aged husband is lured from his drab home life and dutiful wife out to the promised glamour and adventures of the lively streets. He finds a wild and chaotic nightscape full of lurid thrills. However he is targeted by the nefarious nightlife when a prostitute and her pimp plan to rob him.

74 minutes with a music score by Christopher Congdon
