The elite celebrate the end of Prohibition at the Park Lane Hotel in New York City

Heavy traffic at the corner of E 48 Street and Park Avenue, with American flags and the "Park Lane Hotel" on an awning; a closer view of the corner's street signs / A room with palms and flowers with many people, most standing at the bar (VO one unseen man orders a stinger and a Dubonnet cocktail from the bartender) / People stand in a circle with drinks at the ready, and a matron holds a small glass and takes a sip / A middle-aged couple, with the man draining his drink and broadly smiling / A good shot of the bartenders all shaking cocktail tumblers as the patrons look on; woman lights a cigarette; VO an unseen man praises the anniversary end of Prohibition / A humorous leg shot of a women's foot 'looking' for a bar rail, as a man in striped pants crosses his ankles / A close look of bottles behind the bar / A barman makes a Mint Julep / Note: Exact year not known
