The Bergers, a blue-collar Jewish family living in an overstuffed tenement and undone by the Depression, struggle through hard times and dream of a better future in this 1972 production of Clifford Odets' pungent play. Personalities and politics clash as Odets' mélange of characters try to survive on pennies a day. Walter Matthau plays cynical World War I amputee Moe Axelrod, and Leo Fuchs portrays the family's iron-willed leftist grandfather.

家畜泥棒の濡れ衣を着せられ、9人のカウボーイたちに縛り首にされたジェド・クーパー。連邦法執行官に命を助けられた彼は、自身が執行官となって町に戻り……。男の復讐を描いた西部劇の定番。
