Elia Kazan directed this adaptation of the novel. I was struck by the portrayal of Brooklyn in the early 20th Century, and the way the family still seemed rooted in the cultures its members had come from - Austrian and Irish. The American dream of anything being possible in the new country, unlike in the old ones, is powerful. But so is the poverty, and crowded lifestyle.
Followed the book closely although it stops earlier in Francie's life than the book.
