This little film could also have been a great story for The New Yorker. When I saw Tim "Speed" Levitch, I thought, Wow, I know this guy! He's every New Yorker I've ever met - tough, effete, gruff, wise, silly, profane, provincial, cosmopolitan, neurotic, eloquent, voluble, accessible, insecure, indomitable...
A few points:
I hope Speed wasn't fired by Grey Line (like he was afraid he'd be) for his choice comments and his non-regulation livery.
Grey Line should wise up and charge a premium for the "Speed Tour" and give Tim Levitch a fitting raise.
More than anything else, "The Cruise" is a portrait of a natural-born poet in his element.
