Description by OLDIES.com:
Immortal film clown Buster Keaton ignites a big city free-for-all in this riotous "talkie" costarring Anita Page and Cliff Edwards. In a hilariously hapless attempt to collect the rent on one of his inner city tenements, wealthy uptown landlord Harmon (Keaton) is mobbed by unruly street urchins. But when he sets his eyes on Margie (Page), the beautiful older sister of a young tough named Clipper, Harmon forgets all about his rent money. Smitten by Margie, and suddenly imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, Harmon commences a sidesplitting campaign to "reform" Clipper and the rest of the street kids. Harmon and his faithful valet Poggle (Edwards) pull out all the stops to lure the kids off the streets -- and simultaneously foil the scheme of a local crook who also has designs on Margie.
Product Description:

Production Notes:
- A Buster Keaton Production. "Sidewalks of New York," cost $276,000 to produce in 1931, and in its initial release, grossed $855,000, which was better than any of Buster Keaton's silent films had done. This, in particular, did not help Keaton in his arguments with the MGM-head-of-production, Irving Thalberg, that the studio was picking terrible projects for him.
- Released in the USA September 26, 1931.
