Make Way for Tomorrow, directed by Leo McCarey, is a poignant and deeply moving drama that explores the challenges of aging, family, and changing societal values. Based on the novel The Years Are So Long by Josephine Lawrence, the film tells the heartbreaking story of elderly couple Barkley and Lucy Cooper (Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi), who lose their home during the Great Depression. With none of their five children willing to take them in together, the couple is forced to live separately, each struggling to find a place in the fast-paced world of their grown children.
Renowned for its emotional depth and realistic portrayal of family dynamics, Make Way for Tomorrow remains one of the most powerful films about aging and love. This Criterion Collection edition brings McCarey's masterpiece to Blu-ray in a beautifully restored version, ensuring a timeless viewing experience.
