Distributor NoteIn 1939, novelist Pietro di Donato wrote an incendiary novel called Christ in Concrete, a bestseller and Book of the Month selection about Italian-American immigrants working the construction trade in New York at the onset of the Great Depression. This work of hard-edged social criticism, filled with closely observed naturalist detail and gifted poetry, was turned into an extraordinary motion picture in 1949 by blacklisted filmmaker Edward Dmytryk. Part neorealist, part melodrama, part film noir, it won top awards at festival across Europe but was all but banned in the United States. Also known as Give Us This Day and Salt to the Devil, Christ in Concrete was suppressed, lost, and almost forgotten, but it remained Dmytryk's personal favorite and became a holy grail to dedicated film fans. Now with the participation of the di Donato family, this vital film is back in this deluxe DVD edition! Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesBlacklisted director Edward Dmytryk directed CHRIST IN CONCRETE in 1949, adapting it from the 1939 novel by Pietro Di Donato. Concerning the lives of Italian-American immigrants struggling to find work in the construction trade around the time of the Great Depression, the story is a gritty, neo-realist drama that pulls no punches in its portrayal of urban living.
