Street Scene
The simple story of LIFE through the window pane of the house across the street.
Directed by King Vidor
Produced by Feature Productions, Samuel Goldwyn Productions
A naturalistic urban drama that observes the petty cruelties and passions of tenement life, culminating in tragedy born from jealousy and infidelity.
The setting is a city block during a sweltering summer, where the residents serve as representatives of the not-very-idealized American melting pot. There is idle chitchat, gossip, jealousy, racism, adultery, and suddenly but not unexpectedly, a murder.
