Custom double cloth box (for both scripts). Based on the classic coming of age novel by Betty Smith, in early twentieth-century Brooklyn, a bright, book-loving girl navigates poverty and family hardship alongside her pragmatic mother and her charming but alcoholic father, whose death forces the family to confront both grief and the sacrifices required for survival. Through resilience and reconciliation, the family endures, with the young heroine emerging stronger; symbolized by the tenement courtyard tree that, as her father once promised, refuses to die. Set in Brooklyn, shot on set at 20th Century Fox studios in Los Angeles.
