...about this film many years ago. When she told me that it had Any Griffith in it, I wasn't interested. Then, I heard it was directed by Elia Kazan. I watched it and was blown away. Kazan is an amazing director. Of course Kazan directed other amazing films like...On The Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebel Without a Cause, etc.

My mom is now 78 years old and she always calls me when a movie like AFITC is on and we discuss these films at length. Thanks mom...
