Four-Star Films : ‘America, America’
Elia Kazan’s exhilarating 1963 film from his own novel was drawn from the immigrant experience of his uncle, a young Greek who came to America from Turkey in the late 19th Century. Superb period production design (by Gene Callahan, who won an Oscar) and shot in glorious black-and-white (by Haskell Wexler). Stathis Giallelis, left, stars as Stavros, with Lou Antonio (AMC Thursday at 1 p.m. and midnight).
