MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW

'''Make Way for Tomorrow''' is a 1937 melodrama directed by Leo McCarey. The plot concerns an elderly couple (Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi) who are forced to separate when they lose their house and none of their five children will take both parents in.
The supporting cast includes Thomas Mitchell, who played Scarlett O'Hara's father in ''Gone with the Wind'' (1939) and "Uncle Billy" in ''It's a Wonderful Life'' (1946).
The film was written by Viña Delmar, from a play by Henry Leary and Noah Leary, which was in turn based on the novel ''The Years Are So Long'' by advice columnist Josephine Lawrence.
McCarey believed that this was his finest film. When he accepted his Best Director Oscar for ''The Awful Truth'', he said "Thanks, but you gave it to me for the wrong picture."
