The Struggle (1931) is a sound feature film directed by D. W. Griffith, and was his only other full-sound film besides Abraham Lincoln (1930). After several films directed by Griffith failed at the box office, this was Griffith's last film. The film was made primarily at the Audio-Cinema studios in the Bronx, New York with some outdoor filming on the streets of the Bronx.[1]
The Struggle stars Hal Skelly, Zita Johann, Charles Richman, and in her film debut, Helen Mack. Longtime Griffith actress Kate Bruce made her final film appearance in this film as Granny.
A young couple's marriage is threatened by the husband's alcoholism.[2]
