Greenwich Village Story is a 1963 American feature film written and directed by Jack O'Connell and starring Robert Hogan.
In the Manhattan section of Greenwich Village, Genie , a talented ballet dancer, is pregnant with the child of her underachieving boyfriend Brian, an aspiring novelist.
When Brian's novel is rejected by a publisher upon whose patronage he was depending, he spends several days with his ex-girlfriend Anne, a society woman several years older than he who is often accompanied by a young advertising copywriter named George.
According to director Jack O'Connell, the loud sounds of motorboat engines in the sequence were replaced in the final soundtrack by prerecorded crickets.
O'Connell had earlier worked as second assistant director for Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura (1960), while cinematographer Baird Bryant later worked as an uncredited assistant to László Kovács for Easy Rider (1969) and shot that film's LSD trip sequence in a New Orleans cemetery.
