Movies Watched -- The Automat (2021)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Documentary. 79 minute running time. Made by someone named Lisa Hurwitz who somehow tapped into the Jewish network and got Mel Brooks and Ruth Bader Ginsburg involved … interesting story, the rise and fall of a restaurant business… was Mr. Horn a homosexual? It would explain the great style of the Automats with the white marble-topped tables … good, fresh food from a central commissary, a neat model … the death of the inner city via suburbanization meant the death of the Automat, but there was a glorious era for them. I enjoyed it. This was a John Farr reco.
