"On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. Last fall, a passerby snagged a photo that set the internet ablaze: Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow sharing a kiss in Central Park. This dalliance was not real, but rather one of many scenes from Marty Supreme that was filmed on the ground in the Big Apple."
"Set primarily in Lower Manhattan in the 1950s, Marty Supreme follows Marty, at first a young and unibrowed shoe salesman, who will stop at nothing to pursue his dream of becoming a world-class table tennis player. He's pompous, with a hustler mindset, and keeps getting himself into trouble. His childhood best friend and sometimes-lover, Rachel Mizler (Odessa A'zion), gets swept up in his hijinks, as does his temperamental foil of a friend, Wally (Tyler the Creator)."
Marty Supreme centers on Marty, a young, unibrowed shoe salesman in 1950s Lower Manhattan who becomes a pompous table tennis hustler determined to reach world-class status. The film follows his travels from dingy midtown basements and tenement buildings in New York to Wembley Stadium, tours with the Harlem Globetrotters, and trips to Japan. Rachel Mizler, Marty’s childhood best friend and sometimes-lover, and his volatile friend Wally accompany him through various hijinks. The story draws loose inspiration from real player Marty Reisman and uses on-location New York filming and production design to recreate period environments.
