Toots

The ’40s and ’50s were a classic period in New York City nightlife, when the saloonkeeper was king and regular folks could drink with celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Jackie Gleason. In this documentary, Kristi Jacobson profiles her grandfather, the king of kings: Toots Shor of the eponymous restaurant and saloon, which was once the place to be seen in Manhattan. Edward R. Murrow called Toots Shor the owner of America’s greatest saloon. He became the unlikely den-mother to the heroes of America’s golden age. Politicians and gangsters, sports heroes and movie stars – Sinatra, Gleason, DiMaggio, Ruth, Costello, Eisenhower, Nixon, Warren – for 30 years, they all found their way to Toots’ eponymous saloon on New York’s West 51st Street.
