In Brooklyn circa 1900, the Nolans manage to enjoy life on pennies despite great poverty and Papa's alcoholism. We come to know these people well through big and little troubles: Aunt Sissy's scandalous succession of "husbands"; the removal of the one tree visible from their tenement; and young Francie's desire to transfer to a better school...if irresponsible Papa can get his act together.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Where Tree is frequently slow, it is offset by the story's significance and pointed up notably by the direction of Elia Kazan.

fresh:
Elia Kazan has directed this picture, his first, with an easy naturalness that has brought out all the tone of real experience in a vastly affecting film.
– Bosley Crowther,

fresh:
A sober and reasonably truthful story of life among the lowly.
