I normally like the films directed by Leo

I normally like the films directed by Leo McCarey. The Bells of St. Mary's and Going My Way are 2 of my all time favorites, but I was really disappointed in Make Way for Tomorrow. As a person many years older that the couple featured in this movie, I found the film patronizing. One of of my neighbors is 97 yet he takes care of his hillside home all by himself. He cares for the rose garden and the fruit trees, and he climbs the ladder to pick apples to make applesauce for family and friends. He drives over 50 miles for a visit with his son's widow, and he raises funds to bring youngsters to the local pier for a special celebration where they can have lunch, fish from the pier and take their fishing rods home with them. Unlike the message of this film, my neighbor, and many persons like him, are living testimony that time need not diminish one's capacity to to bring joy and meaning into the world.

Contextually conflicting when relying on the story’s nuances

Contextually conflicting when relying on the story’s nuances, but the emotional basis is eternal. Though not a tearjerker when that bar has been raised afterwards to a more responsive effect few times over similar glimpses, the touching performances here really powers the confrontational honesty with unflinching relatability and specially thought-provoking in critical evaluation over one’s relationship with a parent’s caring intuition meeting a lesser end. (B+)

Solid All Around and defintely a hidden gem

Solid All Around and defintely a hidden gem. It's very suprising how down to earth and relatable and the level of maturity of the themes being tackled here in a 90 minute film. It covers quite a bit of ground and pretty much everything is solid about it. The cinematography isn't bad but probably the weakest part. Half the time the shots are pretty basic and could use more close ups or better framing or more memorable settings. Also, it can be a bit dry in the first half because there isn't much music until the second half which is pretty good. My biggest issue of all is this story felt like it could've been more fleshed out and sprawling. It feels like this could've been a 2 plus hour melodrama with more fleshed out drama to it and even more deeper exploration of such a complex issue. It's still solid and has quite a few really good touching scenes and with what ground that is touched is done quite well. Anyone who is a fan of the director, actors, or golden era melodramas will like this.
