Make Way For Tomorrow was a movie made during the depression, where many struggled to stay afloat in a sea of hard times. The two leading characters, a very old mother and father of five, lost almost everything. It’s a story about the way they cope with being away from each other during a time where the elderly were burdensome to their families. With marvelous performances, a touching screenplay, and a ‘matter-of-fact’ approach to telling the story, this is an incredible film.
