This movie is an early example of James White's genre of Looking At the The Backs of People's Hats As They Stand Around. A master of this variety of short film, he apparently so overawed his competitors that no one would dare imitate him. "That's a James White movie you're trying to do, isn't it? Lacks his sense of je ne sais quoi."
Here the effect is spoiled by a steamship -- presumably the Coptic, but it might be the Staten Island Ferry --- pulling slowly out to harbor. Actually, it might be pulling into harbor or just standing there, as there is no detectable motion. But who cares? It's a movie and you get to see peoples' backs and ships!
Some women appear to be wearing the tops of skyscrapers at first glance, but it turns out to be feathers.
