Street Scene

The dispirited and static lives of the residents of Depression-era New York City tenements are realistically portrayed in director King Vidor’s adaptation of Elmer Rice's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. A love triangle involving Anna Maurrant (Estelle Taylor), her cold-hearted husband Frank (David Landau), and kindly milkman Steve (Russell Hopton) boils over into violence, leaving no one unscathed. Co-stars Sylvia Sidney, Beulah Bondi. Features an often-borrowed classic score by Alfred Newman. 79 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
