A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)
Directed by Elia Kazan
“Each heart-warming character comes alive on the screen!”
Drama · 2h 08m
In Brooklyn circa 1900, the Nolans manage to enjoy life on pennies despite great poverty and Papa's alcoholism. We come to know these people well through big and little troubles: Aunt Sissy's scandalous succession of "husbands"; the removal of the one tree visible from their tenement; and young Francie's desire to transfer to a better school...if irresponsible Papa can get his act together.
