Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Amazon.com
Elia Kazan made his directorial debut with this adaptation of Betty Smith's novel about a bright, young girl growing up in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn, trying to rise above her tenement existence. Sensitively filmed by Kazan, and graced with wonderful performances by James Dunn as the wistful, alcoholic father and Dorothy McGuire as a strong-willed mother. Peggy Ann Garner won a special Oscar for her performance. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

BUYERS BEWARE! BOOTLEG DVD.
This classic film has NEVER been issued on DVD. What is on offer here is a bootleg. Don't support the theft of copyright by purchasing an expensive, illegal copy of doubtful qualityA Tree Grows in Brooklyn

If you like the movie, read the book
I have loved A Tree Grows In Brooklyn since the first time I saw it. I purchased it from a seller on Amazon and was disappointed in the quality of the DVD. It looks like someone burned it off of a VHS tape. Beside the point, I also got the book by Betty Smith and I can't believe the differences and similarities of the book and DVD. The novel is quite thick and I know a movie made to follow the book would be 5 hours long or more, but I can't stop thinking about the actors and their characters in the book. I like a happy ending and the DVD was much happier than the book. I have always liked Dorothy McGuire, Ted Donaldson and Peggy Ann Garner (she played in Jane Eyre with Elizabeth Taylor). I just hope this comes out in a better quality DVD and I will definitely repurchase it. I usually try to record it when it is aired on TCM or FMC and keep it on my DVR. Mr. Kazan did a great job with the movie though. It still remains my favorite.A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Great story and service
Mom's been gone for 15 years but when growing up she always mentioned A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I'm now 67 and just read the book so HAD to have the movie. What great service to get it to me just as I was reading the last page....A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
