Next Stop, Greenwich Village is a very beautiful motion picture.
Next Stop, Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village, 1953. It was coffeehouses and high adventure, it was your first love and your best dream, it was girls who drank wine and your mother back home asking God to forgive you.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
"Next Stop, Greenwich Village" isn't aggressively awful. It is inept but mostly it's just commonplace.
The movie's part autobiography and part fiction, but it's all of a piece because Mazursky captures the tone of the 1950s.
Seems more like a slavish hommage to Federico Fellini than a genuine reminiscence.
A middlebrow American Graffiti, minus the music and set in Greenwich Village, 1953.
