Manhattan becomes a maypole as its bridges execute a carefree but magical dance. There are two versions of the film on the reel, one with an electronic soundtrack by Louis and Bebe Barron, and one with music by Ted Macero and his group. The director feels that both should be seen, the electronic-sound version first because that sound vitally alters the responses of the viewer.
