Clip 1 out of 6.

UPDATE:
Clip 02-06 is still blocked in Russia for some reason but Clip 03-06 has been unblocked and is now viewable worldwide.

An excellent documentary about the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan. The legendary hotel manager and majority owner at the time, Stanley Bard, talks about the many famous and sometimes infamous people who have stayed at the Chelsea over the many years of its existence. God bless Stanley Bard who gave these people a home, and without whom New York and the world would be poorer. The final scenes in segment 6 were done on the roof of the Chelsea on September 11, just after 9 am. It's all very emotional and tragic.

The documentary is in six parts, and each segment is about ten minutes in length. It was produced in September, 2001. I recorded this legally over DVB-T a long time ago with my Elgato EyeTV. If you feel this is in violation of your copyright, I will take all everything down, no problem. Please let me know and I will do it. I am only a fan and not making any money from these video clips.

    I wish I could find a complete version of this great documentary to download. It's a shame that YouTube muted the entire second clip.

    I thought Dainty Adore O'Hara would be featured upon seeing this Chelsea Hotel documentary in my feed. It was cool but I didn't see Dainty in any of it.

    The subtitling for this documentary is excellent and absolutely correctly done. I know this because I used to do it for a living. I was a professional subtitler and translator.

    I believe this is the way documentaries should be done. You do not try to prove a point or create some sort of narrative. You try to show what reality is like today and what it was really like in the old days. You let people who were there at the time spreak and you precent this more or less unfiltered. If you don't then what you get is a fictional story and not a documentary.
