My recollection is that every film set in New York until the modern era starred people who looked like this and dressed in these clothes (from Wolfen), but it could be Six Days of the Condor, The French Connection, Ghostbusters, Kramer vs Kramer, literally every film shot in New York):
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film5/blu-ray_reviews_67/wolfen_blu-ray_/960__wolfen_06_blu-ray__blu-ray_.jpg

Everybody was older then. Was it cheaper to film in New York in the winter?

Do people still go to psychotherapists in films? As with the greatcoats, literally every Oscar-baity film shot in the last half of the 1970s was about a professional couple who were splitting up and they were both in therapy. Because it was the "me" decade, which has led to the hilarious spectacle of people who grew up in the "me" decade complaining on the internet that kids nowadays are self-centered.
