A 1938 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Street Scene, the classic 1931 King Vidor New York City problems-of-the-poor romantic love triangle melodrama ("The Pulitzer Prize Drama by Elmer Rice"; a very complicated tale of a New York City tenement, where a middle-aged man shoots his wife's lover, and their beautiful daughter can escape the tenements by becoming the mistress of a well-to-do Jewish store owner, but after her mother is shot by her father, she decides to leave the tenements behind, to find a better life) starring Sylvia Sidney, William Collier Jr., Estelle Taylor, Beulah Bondi, Greta Granstedt, and Adele Watson. Note that this movie was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play from 1928, but there was a social worker in the play who is very unsympathetic to the poor people she is supposed to help, and pressure was brought on the play's producer Samuel Goldwyn to change the character, and he proposed she become a secret Soviet agent who was planning to blow up the tenement building so that Clarence Darrow would be elected President, and apparently that scared people enough that the character remained similar to how she had been in the original play.
