U.S. 1

America's Original Main Street

Plot

A masterpiece of bygone America, in the tradition of James Agee and Walker Evans. The old highway stretches from the northern woods of Maine to the warm blue waters off Key West, Florida. Along its 2,500-mile journey, U.S. 1 passes through the old, faded towns of New England; the great, decaying eastern cities; the farms of the Old South; through Florida, the new mecca. 75 photographs.
