EFC II #57 - Make Way For Tomorrow (1937) 

See it all if you can. You a wont believe how sad and beautiful at the same time it is. Best love story ever told.

Yonah Paley can you tell me how did you watch it. I can’t find it anywhere on internet

Interesting note about social security, thanks! Yeah I'll likely do the same with this, maybe once ever 2-5 years or something, really savour it. I tend to do that also with Seven Samurai, try and watch it with someone who hasn't seen it before every time. As such, every time I've watched Seven Samurai has been a memorable experience!

Its AN AWESOMELY AMAZING movie!

Definitely seek it out man!

Very interesting thanks! What did I say he said?

@@RazorwireReviews you quoted what Bogdanovich said he said here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-At9IuaKcO78.html, but he actually never said on tape that "it would make a stone cry." Bogdanovich says he said that, but when you listen to the interview, he never says that, maybe he said it to Bogdanovich off tape, but it was never recorded in thse interviews.

Gotcha! Really interesting as I said, thanks for sharing :)

Agreed! For the record it's not my list, rather I'm going through the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die book :)

I am glad it is on the list anyway. I just gave the DVD of the film to my elderly parents and they loved it. I've watched the movie many many times. So when I wanted to see it in a movie theater, I went to the Leo McCarey retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in Manhattan. Naturally, almost all the films in the retrospective were his comedies. I was walking out after the film ended and saw two women sitting together who were completely WRECKED with crying. I stopped and spoke with them. I asked if they'd ever seen it before. One woman said no, she hadn't and she just was so surprised at the ending. She said, "Lucy should have gotten on the train with him to California." There is a phrase that I really dislike and you see it a lot in US newspapers. It's when they say so and so "captured the imagination of the public." I've never really understood it. I can see capturing the ATTENTION of the public. But capturing the imagination? Does that mean we are supposed to fantasize about it? So I always think that it is lazy writing whenever someone uses the phrase "capture the imagination." And yet---- when it comes to this movie, it truly DOES capture the imagination. I find myself thinking about Barkley and Lucy a lot. What became of them afterwards?

That's another heartbreakingly sad and haunting movie masterpiece!

@@michaelbruns449 The fact that Elia Kazan had no truck with maniac communists is a bonus.

Why? Because that's how those list compilers see it

Or maybe some of them literally haven't even seen it yet?
