A Bronx Morning is a 1931 short documentary film (11 minutes) by Jay Leyda.The film is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, namely, a portrait of life in the Bronx, New York City. Then as now the Bronx is a working-class borough, filled at the time by hordes of Eastern European immigrants. Leyda's camera arrives in the Bronx via elevated train and spends its time mostly at street level, showing store fronts, street vendors, people going to work, and children playing in the streets.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Compare Manhatta, a 1921 documentary short that focused on the grand skyscrapers of lower Manhattan, rather than the humble brick buildings and neighborhood stores of New York. On the strength of this film Jay Leyda was invited to study with none other than Sergei Eisenstein.

The Faceless: Leyda chose to avoid showing faces whenever possible, especially the adults. We see a woman apparently talking in the street and a different woman rocking a baby carriage, and both times the camera is framed to cut off the women at the neck.

Disturbed Doves: One of the most striking shots in the movie shows a flock of pigeons, disturbed by something, suddenly taking flight from a rooftop and swooping around as the camera follows them.
