bookstofilms: He didn’t tell him Brighton Drive was only one block long,And ended in a clay ravine.The little house, the scabby house,Like those that grow behind the subdivisionsWhere the well-to-do are housed…The pavement ends, the road has noble name;It’s lined with sumach suddenlyInstead of curbs and velvet grass;The road grows rough and full of clay - The little houses come from hiding,And the boys who live in themGo up to cut the velvet grassOn richer lawns.That’s where Fred Lived.THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES (1946) dir. William Wyler adapted from the novella GLORY FOR ME by MacKinlay Kantor -- source link
