Make Way for Tomorrow

USA 1937, 92 minutes, B/W
Dir. Leo McCarey
Genres: Classics, Drama

Feat. Victor Moore, Beulah Bondi, Fay Bainter, Thomas Mitchell, Porter Hall, Barbara Read

Aroview: Frankly, one of the most devastating movies ever made, this long neglected classic served as inspiration for Ozu's revered TOKYO STORY many years later, though is arguably the more severe and heartbreaking of the two.

Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi (both aged with incredible makeup) play an inseparable elderly couple whose largely selfish and indifferent offspring begrudge the fact they have to care for them when their home is foreclosed during the Great Depression.

0 star (Not rated) We were surprised at how relevant this film was - compare the current 'Separation', it's a sad business growing old. We were also surprised that it didn't have some schmaltzy happy ending. Definitely a 'two-hanky' job. ~Anon
