Street Scene
DirectorKing Vidor
“The simple story of LIFE through the window pane of the house across the street.”
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.
