P.O.V. Film Series Screens 'Make Way For Tomorrow'
February 13th, 2014
The Point of View Film Series continues to roll out its fantastic slate of 2014 titles this month as we present Leo McCarey’s
"Make Way For Tomorrow” (1937).
Leo McCarey’s Make Way for Tomorrow is one of the great unsung
Hollywood masterpieces, an enormously moving Depression-era depiction of
the frustrations of family, aging, and the generation gap. Victor Moore
and Beulah Bondi headline a cast of incomparable character actors,
starring as an elderly couple who must move in with their grown children
after the bank takes their home, yet end up separated and subject to
their offspring’s selfish whims. An inspiration for Ozu’s Tokyo Story, Make Way for Tomorrow
is among American cinema’s purest tearjerkers, all the way to its
unflinching ending, which McCarey refused to change despite studio
pressure. -- The Criterion Collection
