Following our very loose thread of “Film and Theatre” here is another plays adaptation by major film director:
STREET SCENE (1931) by King Vidor
King Vidor’s silent work, including The Big Parade (1925) and The Crowd (1928), is outstanding as its reputation suggests, but the introduction of sound sparked something in Vidor. Hallelujah (which we will screen as part of EFG London Jazz Festival in November), Our Daily Bread and the less well known Street Scene are masterpieces.
Street Scene (1931), from Elmer Rice’s 1923 Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells twenty-four hours elapse on the stoop of a Hell's Kitchen tenement as a microcosm of the American melting pot interacts with each other during a summer heatwave.
