Vintage 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy restrike photograph from the classic 1940's turn-of-the-century drama/romance, A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN; released in 1945 by Twentieth Century-Fox and directed by Elia Kazan. In Brooklyn circa 1900, the Nolans manage to enjoy life on pennies despite great poverty and Papa's alcoholism. We come to know these people well through big and little troubles: Aunt Sissy's scandalous succession of "husbands"; the removal of the one tree visible from their tenement; and young Francie's desire to transfer to a better school...if irresponsible Papa can get his act together. The cast includes Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell, James Dunn, Lloyd Nolan, James Gleason, Ted Donaldson, Peggy Ann Garner, and Ruth Nelson.
The image features a beautiful interior shot of Katie Nolan (Dorothy McGuire) having a conversation with Aunt Sissy (Joan Blondell) as they sit in the open window of their Brooklyn tenement. Lightly trimmed to 7.5 x 10 in., it is in very fine- condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.
