'Make Way For Tomorrow'

This is a really sweet, sad film.

An old couple -- with a certain amount of homely naivete -- are foreclosed upon and their selfish children are forced to split them apart due to space.

The parents are shipped from house to house, but they are never together and they quickly realize they'll never be together again.

It's extremely sad and yet the couple face it like death, and for these two not being together is as simple as dying.

As Orson Welles stated, Make Way For Tomorrow would "make a stone cry."

Thomas Mitchell plays the eldest son, George. Mitchell's career as a character actor is salty. The groundbreaking films he helped make is really, really awesome.

Director Leo McCarey won an Oscar the year this film was released. But for The Awful Truth. When he accepted the award, he said, "Thanks, but you gave it to me for the wrong picture."

He was referring to Make Way For Tomorrow.
