The 1952 film is a unique production shot in England's 'Little Italy' and England, not the US, due to political reasons. It tells the story of Geremio, a young Italian immigrant who works as a bricklayer and lies about owning a home to win his wife's heart. As the years pass and the 1929 depression hits, Geremio struggles to provide for his family, taking on dangerous construction work that ultimately leads to the death of his best friend and his own infidelity.
