 Filmed
in 1922 in Manhattan,
Hungry Hearts is based on the short stories
of Anzia Yezierska, one of the first immigrant
authors to write about American Jewish
women for a mainstream audience. Screening
on November 6th at the Silent
Movie Theatre, this bittersweet
Samuel Goldwyn classic follows the Levin
family as they emigrate from Eastern
Europe with hope for a better life in America,
only to discover the hardships of settling in
the New World.
