(Leo McCarey, US 1937, 92 min.)

In what Orson Welles described as a movie that “could make a stone cry,” an aging couple (Beulah Bondi and Victor Moore) turn to their grown children when faced with financial problems and potential homelessness. McCarey’s positively heartbreaking drama, never released on home video, will be introduced by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Tamara Jenkins, who cites Make Way for Tomorrow as a primary influence on her film The Savages.
