This is such a great time capsule movie. You can smell the cigarette smoke when you watch it. It also has the most perfect ending shot I've ever seen.

I also love the old switchboards and office furniture. It is indeed a time capsule.

Speaking of, the NYT got a pretty rare peek at said switchboards last year: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/20/nyregion/nyc-...

Kind of reminds me of this, too: https://www.nytimes.com/video/insider/100000004687429/farewe...

Watch it along with "The Conversation", from the same era. Watch "Breakdown: 1975" for the context..
