A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)

the movie is unavailable in India,its not on amazon.com either nor on many online stores,somehow found it on ebay ,a seller from Korea.

why its not given special treatment when its such a great classic,is a mystery,the movie screams for a commentary track.i hope its released with special features and commentary track.it depicts in detail life and times during first half of 20 th century America.

the movie is crafted well and script is really good its engaging and interesting.it depicts beautifully father daughter relationship.the little brother and sister are really good.

this is Elia Kazan's best movie,better than any other.its shameful how its ignored.

its the story of a young girl whose family is poor,her father is a waiter cum singer with a drinking problem.James Dunn is really great playing the father.his song on piano is really nice."Annie Laurie" and "Molly Malone" are two great songs from the movie.

Dorothy MC guire really shines in her starring role,she moves you like no one,you go on with her on here journey through life ups and downs,good moments and sad moments.her struggles and how she overcomes obstacles.

Joan Blondell and Peggy Ann garner are great too.Lloyd Nolan gives a gentleman performance.
