Give Us This Day

Though Give Us This Day is set in New York's Little Italy, director Edward Dmytryk had to shoot the film in London because he was blacklisted in Hollywood for alleged communist connections. The 1949 social drama focuses on an Italian immigrant bricklayer living through the Great Depression. It screens today at 1:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The screening comes courtesy of Richard Di Donato and is co-sponsored by the United Labor Agency and the North Shore Federation of Labor. Tickets cost $10, or $7 for CMA members and card-carrying union members. (Niesel)
