We were originally going to show A Tree Grows in Brooklyn at Christmas as it is is one our favorite Christmas movies here at the Arthouse series!! It was postponed but it is still cold so come see this film and you won’t ever think about Christmas the same way again! A gut punch of a film, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn tells the story of an Irish immigrant family, the Nolans, living out their lives in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn in 1912. About 100 years before Williamsburg got to be the gentrified Hell hole it currently is, this story takes place when the neighborhood was filled with thousands of first generation immigrants from all different parts of the world, crammed together in tenements and hustling every day to put food on the table and maybe a little liquor down their gullet! With Dorthy McGuire (Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson) as stern mom Katie Nolan! Joan Blondell (Glenda in Stay Away, Joe) as sassy Aunt Sissy!! Come out and get in the spirit with us!! A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, CAN’T MISS!!!
