I was fortunate to obtain a discount ticket to this magnificent film. But it is so good I'm going to see it a second time full price . The acting, cinematography, music, all lend a feeling of authenticity to the film. The story moves along, despite the almost 2-1/2 hour show. The depiction of the Italian immigrant experience has many parallels in our current times. Mother Cabrini was a beacon of light in those dark times. We desperately need someone like her now. The premise of the film-- what will you do when faced with suffering of your neighbors, will stick with you long after the final credits play. Go see this in a theater if you can. The details of the crowd and street scenes are complex and won't be as effective on your TV. There are quite a bit of English subtitles during some Italian language scenes, but the font size and print is easy to see.
