“As for Make Way for Tomorrow, it was, despite all the humour it contained, the saddest story I ever directed. There was much pathos: it is the story of a couple who have five children and who raised them, then have money problems and find themselves reduced to living off their children, who have problems themselves and quarrel among themselves continually on the subject of their parents. It was at the same time very funny and very dramatic.” --Leo McCarey. One of the few films to deal seriously with the subject of gerontology, Make Way for Tomorrow is a finely textured and moving work of social commentary.
