Elia Kazan made his directorial debut with this adaptation of Betty Smith's novel about a bright, young girl growing up in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn, trying to rise above her tenement existence. Sensitively filmed by Kazan, and graced with wonderful performances by James Dunn as the wistful, alcoholic father and Dorothy McGuire as a strong-willed mother. Peggy Ann Garner won a special Oscar for her performance. --Tom Keogh

 Great! October 31, 2008

This is such a great movie. I am really surprised that it is not on DVD yet. As far as I can tell, Fox Movie Channel is the only network that plays it and that is not offered with our cable package. I would buy a couple of copies if it were on DVD.
 Buy it on eBay October 19, 2008

On eBay you can likely find this film on DVD in Region 0 from Korea (plays anywhere in the world). I bought one and the packaging and DVD quality is first rate. All I had to do was turn off the Korean subtitles (on by default) and I was good to go. Great movie. Great quality DVD, and the DVD keepcase is in English, not Korean.

This classic film has NEVER been issued on DVD. What is on offer here is a bootleg. Don't support the theft of copyright by purchasing an expensive, illegal copy of doubtful quality
If you like the movie, read the book September 7, 2008

I have loved A Tree Grows In Brooklyn since the first time I saw it. I purchased it from a seller on Amazon and was disappointed in the quality of the DVD. It looks like someone burned it off of a VHS tape. Beside the point, I also got the book by Betty Smith and I can't believe the differences and similarities of the book and DVD. The novel is quite thick and I know a movie made to follow the book would be 5 hours long or more, but I can't stop thinking about the actors and their characters in the book. I like a happy ending and the DVD was much happier than the book. I have always liked Dorothy McGuire, Ted Donaldson and Peggy Ann Garner (she played in Jane Eyre with Elizabeth Taylor). I just hope this comes out in a better quality DVD and I will definitely repurchase it. I usually try to record it when it is aired on TCM or FMC and keep it on my DVR. Mr. Kazan did a great job with the movie though. It still remains my favorite.
Great story and service August 20, 2008

Mom's been gone for 15 years but when growing up she always mentioned A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I'm now 67 and just read the book so HAD to have the movie. What great service to get it to me just as I was reading the last page....
