''The Cruise'' is a 1998 American documentary film by Bennett Miller. It records the worldview and personality of Timothy "Speed" Levitch, who was then a guide for bus tours of New York City. Levitch had become popular for his unconventional narrative about the city that he delivered at a frenetic pace. Production The production of the film has also drawn critical commentary. James Berardinelli wrote: "''The Cruise'' is a typical example of low-budget documentary film making. It's in grainy black-and-white (a blowup from the video it was shot on) with a flat audio. Oddly, however, this approach gives Levitch's New York City a timeless quality. The Gershwin song "But Not for Me (song), But Not for Me" plays as the camera captures the modern skyline, creating a sense of the past and present blurring together". The film was in production for three and a half years and Miller worked as a one-man camera crew, solely operating a handheld video camera, a wireless microphone on Levitch, ...
