One Chase Manhattan Plaza poster
NR

Made in the style of the great "city symphony" films, One Chase Manhattan Plaza celebrates the architectural achievement of this impressive New York City skyscraper as well as all the people who made it tick. From the mailroom, where thousands of letters are received and sorted daily, to the company executives in their sleek, modern offices, Engel imbues what is essentially an industrial film with great humanity and heart.
