Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? is a 1975 documentary film directed by Philippe Mora, [4] consisting largely of newsreel footage and contemporary film clips [5] to portray the era of the Great Depression.
[2] [12] William Zinsser writes that "[t]he song so lacerated the national conscience that radio stations banned it" for being "sympathetic to the unemployed". [20] Few thematic Depression songs were popular, because Americans did not want music which reminded them of the economic situation, but "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
The pair's most famous song was "Brother Can You Spare a Dime," based on a lullaby that Gorney learned as a child in Russia. It first appeared in the 1932 Shubert production of New Americana and became the anthem of the Great Depression.
