80th Anniversary Presentation
Her Second Mother
Directed by Joseph Seiden
USA | 89 minutes | 1940
Yiddish with English subtitles
In this quintessential Second Avenue-style production, newly restored and celebrating its 80th anniversary, a young woman tries to repay her adoptive parents' kindness by protecting their biological child, who has gotten involved with an embezzler. Eventually, there’s a happy ending and some big laughs courtesy of the feuding, catchphrase-loving Kupperman clan who sing tunes by “Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn” composer Sholom Seconda. This one’s got it all: Filial sacrifice! Suffering parents! Wild coincidences! Amnesia! Comic relief! A District Attorney who sings in Yiddish! Nu, that’s not enough for you?
