If you loved Duck Soup, try Make Way for Tomorrow

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Make Way for Tomorrow has roughly 3.9× fewer votes than Duck Soup — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Leo McCarey. If that's the register that drew you to Duck Soup, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Make Way for Tomorrow is

A film that argues, perhaps, for assisted living. An aging couple loses their house and must separately depend on their adult children, who are predictably awful. It's a pretty grim depiction of old age in America, now available for your next family movie night.
