"Christ in Concrete"
1949
Directed by Edward Dmytryk

Also known as Give Us This Day, Christ in Concrete is a hard-edged work of social criticism based on author Pietro di Donato's bestselling book. Equal parts neorealism, melodrama and film noir, the film paints a hardened description of Italian-American immigrant life in New York City at the onset of the Depression. Directed by the then-blacklisted Edward Dymtryk and filmed entirely in England while the director was in self-imposed exile, Christ in Concrete was banned in the United States upon its initial release, yet was honored at festivals across Europe.  115 minutes.

                             All films sold by 1-World Festival of Foreign Films are in North American format.
