Wonderful movie!
One of my all-time favorite movies! It's the story of Francie Nolan, growing up in Brooklyn at the turn of the 20th century, with her family. It's a hardscrabble life. Poverty is rampant; Francie's father Johnny works as a singing waiter who has more than a little dependence on drink, and so isn't always the most reliable. Francie's mother Katie works as the building cleaning woman in order to provide the family with a three room flat. Life is hard, yet Francie remains optimistic. Truly a gem of a movie.
