Such a wonderful movie. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite books.

Delighted to see this was uploaded on my birthday and I have always loved this story since I first saw it with my mother as a young girl . This version is just as beautiful . Each time I watch I hear something new in it

Beautiful story line. Truly family friendly movie. I remember reading this book as a child and thinking it was very good.

I read the book 10 yrs ago. It is thick.

ASE's Armed Services Editions - critically important to soldiers in World War II. Most popular title was "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" Thrilled to find this movie and watch it now, thinking of those Soldiers with an ASE lovingly tucked into a pocket treasured and shared. I'm honored now to watch this movie with those soldiers in our minds and hearts, my father one of them.

Never saw This version....Thank you so much for sharing it!

So happy to find this version. Cliff Robertson was great in the role.

One of my favorites 🎄

How hard life was for the poor of Brooklyn! Good actors especially their oldest daughter.

Mooist boek dat ik in mijn jeugd gelezen heb. En daarom om de zo veel jaar lees ik het weer. En elke keer anders door persoonlijke ontwikkeling ❤

“There’s a tree that grows where poor people live, like on Schole street in Brooklyn…..” I haven’t seen this movie in 30 years and I remember that line at the beginning… Word for Word. Thank you so much for uploading!!!!

If only the print was sharper...but I'm so grateful for the upload. thank you Chris Johnson

Chris this is a fantastic movie !! It’s the first time I’ve seen this version. I have seen the original 1940’s original more than once but this version is just as good . Thanks for this!!👍👍😊👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thank you! I saw this 50 years ago and had hoped it would be on KZread sometime.

‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’ In other words, beauty is all we need in order to discover truth, and truth is itself beautiful. This is true, but if we seek more knowledge it will know more truth that we did not know........eg. We(common folk) may never go in space, but we all need to know about our universe created by God so we can learn to have an appreciation for him. Even though he knows our sins, he still loves us.

Thank you for this movie. I saw it originally in 1974 and was really impressed. This has a wonderful meaning-and a new tree wasn't the only thing growing.:-)

The original version is so wonderful , but this one was well done and very finely acted. Thanks for the upload.

​I Lovecraft the film! ❤❤❤❤😢😂🎉

Just finished watching the 1945 version of the movie. I want to see which is better. I love watching black and white movies. I was born in NYC. Everything looked black and white to me when I was a child 69 years ago.

Love and adore this book. Didn’t know there was this version. Thanks for the upload!

i KNEW IT, BUT there was only the trailer fo yrs. It needs to be restored like the orginal one from the 1940s.

I can't thank you enough for uploading this TV movie version of this wonderful book. I loved it the first time I saw it decades ago and have been telling friends about it for years but could never find it until now. Developed by (among others) Blanche Hanalis, who had a hand in Little House on the Prairie, to me, this version is a masterpiece. I've been looking for it for years, but TV movies often disappear and are never issued on DVD. Superb performances from Cliff Robertson, Diane Baker, Nancy Malone and all the others as well. I LOVE IT.

My dad and auntie were born in Brooklyn....1934 and 1935...🦁

My favourite novel , and the movie of course !!!

Chris, thank you so much for this!!!

I have always loved the girl actress, never knew her name.

The original version is my favorite nothing against the actors actresses in this movie. I love Cliff Robertson. With all the ones who were in the original now have passed away. This is sad to me.

This was Pamelyn Ferdin's best movie.

A very good remake with superior performances by the very underrated Diane Baker and Cliff Robertson.

The original portrated life in the early 1900s much more accurately, especially the street scenes with the children. Imagine living in a time when a penny would actually buy something.

Always been my favorite

The book was so good. The film was quite good.

Very well done.

The 40's mother was tougher on the father compared to the 70's mother. She had a little mercy because the 40s mother let him see her disappointment more.

That's an unfair characterization of the 40's mother. She adored her husband, and loved to listen to him spin his tales of fantasy. She got upset when he made empty promises about changing his life. She was pregnant. The financial burden of the family fell on her. The father was a great guy, but it was like she was raising three kids.

I see they raised the exchange rate in this newer version. In the 1949 the money the put in their tin can totaled 9 cents. This one is 12 cents. I like the older version.

I find the lack of Brooklyn accents a bit distracting but this version looks well-made so I’ll watch it.

This was a lovely movie ,but not near the first one, one silver one gold,both rare

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Ah yes, the marvel of American education where kids come in dumb but leave dumber. Everybody deserves a chance poor or rich.

At time bar 1:59 , He says " I ain't got all day" that's not New York north regional slang or talking points.

Pamelyn Ferdin voiced: Fern in Charlotte's Web, Lucy in a few Charlie Brown cartoons,.

Trees grow in other places as well Maybe there's a hidden meaning!

The meaning was the irony that even in a location known primarily as a concrete slum, there can be hope for a greener reality if you have the heart and courage to find it.

@angloaust1575

Or the motivation and the space to grow more trees In a concrete jungle!

Johnny is supposedly blonde

The girl in this version is like a wooden doll, compared to the girl in the 1945 version.

Dear GOD how I hate poverty. Some parts of this Edwardian Age movie remind me of that slum I grew up in during the late 1940s thru the 1950s. Anybody who glorifies poverty should be horsewhipped!

There must be a problem with restoring these movies from the 60s 70s and 80s because they all look like crap. It’s hard for me to watch it. I’ll just go rewatch the original. It’s much clearer even though it was made decades earlier.
