Old New York: film from the Library of Congress of New York City around 1900

Per YouTube, the video features Enrico Caruso singing "La donna e Mobile"* (from Rigoletto (wiki)) circa 1908 and clips of films taken in New York City dating from 1898 to 1906 from the Library of Congress.



"La donna e Mobile" translates as "woman is fickle".

    Predating the Seven Year Itch subway scene by fifty years or so... ;-)
