Awake and Sing!
The Bergers, a blue-collar Jewish family living in an overstuffed tenement and undone by the Depression, struggle through hard times and dream of a better future in this 1972 production of Clifford Odets' pungent play. Personalities and politics clash as Odets' mélange of characters try to survive on pennies a day. Walter Matthau plays cynical World War I amputee Moe Axelrod, and Leo Fuchs portrays the family's iron-willed leftist grandfather.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Awake and Sing! is an exceptional film rated 10.0/10. It ranks among the finest in its genre and is an absolute must-watch for any film lover.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1972. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
