Philadelphia here I come
Based on the famous play this is an impressive film about emigration. The last day before he heads off to America McCann meets his friends and locals. The ending is poignant as he gets on the TWA plane and it's relevant once again. Best scene has him saying to a young doctor that he's getting out while the rest are staying. The rest of the movie has uneven lighting but an interesting premise where McCann talks to his inner self. One of many American Film Theatre productions which has now gotten a DVD release.
