The Heart of New York

In his Lower East Side tenement, tinkering plumber Mendel Marantz (George Sidney)--to the disdain of disbelieving family and friends, save supportive neighbor Bessie (Aline McMahon)--sunk his spare time into crafting a practical dishwasher. When the invention is a hit, his clan wants to take off for Park Avenue...but would he be happy living with the swells? Screen take on the David Freedman stage farce "Mendel, Inc." co-stars Joe Smith and Charlie Dale, Ruth Hall, Donald Cook; Mervyn LeRoy directs. 73 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
