Street Scene

About Street Scene

The setting is a city block during a sweltering summer, where the residents serve as representatives of the not-very-idealized American melting pot. There is idle chitchat, gossip, jealousy, racism, adultery, and suddenly but not unexpectedly, a murder.

King Vidor's Street Scene is a 1931 romance film. Sylvia Sidney takes the lead as Rose Maurrant, William Collier Jr. as Sam Kaplan, Estelle Taylor as Mrs. Anna Maurrant, and Beulah Bondi as Emma Jones.

At 78 minutes long, it arrived in September 1931.

Shelv files it under neighbor, summer, pre-code, and disheartening. In the United States it streams on Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Video with Ads, and Artiflix. It carries a NR rating.
