The Bergers, a blue‑collar Jewish family cramped in a tenement during the Depression, struggle for a better future in the 1972 film of Clifford Odets’s play. Personality and politics clash as they scrape by on pennies. Walter Matthau plays cynical WWI amputee Moe Axelrod, and Leo Fuchs is the family’s steadfast left‑leaning grandfather.
