My Favorite Film

I came across by chance. As a Wes Anderson fan, I own Bottle Rocket on blu-ray criterion. Inside is a booklet with an essay by Martin Scorsese. My brother borrowed the movie for a weekend and called me immediately after reading that booklet. In that essay Scorsese mentions Leo McCarey and Make Way for Tomorrow. Intrigued, my brother googled MWfT and low and behold TCM was showing it that very week. Hopefully one day this film might get the respect it deserves and people everywhere will know it by name. It's fantastic.

Beautiful film. It's influence is seen in many later movies, notably Ozu's Tokyo Story.
The final act of Make Way for Tomorrow is pretty devastating.
