Blacklisted 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.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
