What do you think of 'Daybreak Express' (1953)?

This is a fast-paced, highly enjoyable short film filmed on and around New York's 3rd Avenue Elevated railway before it was torn down, using inventive camerawork and editing techniques and set to the music of a delightful Duke Ellington number.

I rated this an 8/10 for the database. What do you think of it?

A masterpiece,
never understood howcome Hitchock etc were so famous,
"Daybreak Express" is the finest piece of art Ive seen pre 2001 Space Odyssey
10/10

Fun little film, I really enjoyed it! Maybe a few more shots of people faces would've been nice but otherwise cool stuff.
