Ahh, the changing face of America..................
Gee whiz Beaver, immigrants sure looked different back in the last century...
Sure thing Wally, and hey, they look like Grandma!!!!!!!!

This immigration flick is what you make of it. I especially enjoy how tame they make the brutality of the Old Countries out to be when compared with what really happened. Very narrow description of actual events, class structures and ethnicity. If created today Spielberg would be doing his realism cinemagic to the most minor costume detail, and of course it would be terribly violent.
"Map-Chart technique surveys chronologically and compactly the history of immigration up to the restrictive law of 1924. Economic, political and religious motives of immigrants shown in scene in steamship office abroad. Scene at Ellis Island."
