In 1939, Pietro di Donato wrote the incendiary Christ in Concrete, a bestseller about Italian-American immigrants working the construction trade in New York at the onset of the Great Depression. This work of hard-edged social criticism and gifted poetry was turned into an extraordinary motion picture in 1949 by filmmaker Edward Dmytryk. (official distributor synopsis)
