City Streets is a 1938 American melodrama set in New York City. Wheel-chair bound orphan Winnie Brady (Edith Fellows) is taken in by shopkeeper Joe Carmine (Leo Carrillo). An unsuccessful operation on Winnie's legs bankrupts Carmine, who then sells fruit on the streets. Winnie is sent to live in an orphanage, and Carmine is discouraged from continuing his relationship with her. Carmine is so distraught by grief that he slowly begins to die. Winnie is brought to him by local priest Father Ryan (Frank Sheridan), and she finds the strength to stand and walk to his bedside, eventually regaining full use of her legs.[1]
