I can guess.
Clean streets
Folks dressed very nicely. Even in poor neighborhoods
No poop or druggies can be seen

The left despises THAT America. They want NYC circa 1971 as the Apple was rotting away.

In the parks, find some shade and stretch out on the grass.
Life was simpler. Safer, too.

A nation preparing for war. You can see the formation of Navy sailors marching down one of the sidewalks. At that time, Hitler had pretty much all of mainland Europe and was (at the time) chewing up Russia. England still stood alone.

Thank God we live in an America where white people are on the way out. Disgusting!

Oh yeah right. My grandparents love watching retro TV like “I Married Joan” and a few others of that era.

This is film shot by tourists. New York had all of those back in 1941 but I doubt they were of much interest to those shooting the film.
