Tim Rooney in Storyville (1974)

Trivia

Storyville

Edit
The word "Storyville" is derived from the name of New Orleans city alderman, Sidney Story, who drafted the city ordinance in 1897 establishing the red-light district. The ordinance was necessary to stop the spread of prostitution, which had been destroying neighborhoods and lowering property values in the city for years. In order to avoid anti-prostitution laws, the statute simply outlawed the trade in all parts of New Orleans except for a certain carefully delineated area. Within those blocks, no one would be bothered.

Councilman Sidney Story is one of the characters in this movie, played by Al Rose, who is also credited as the film's historical consultant, and whose book "Storyville, New Orleans" was published the same year as the film's release.
No prints are known to be held in any major film archives or personal collections, therefor this film is considered "potentially lost".
