Boxcar Bertha background creation

The early works of film master Martin Scorsese are engraved with a distinct brand of the times. " Boxcar Bertha " sold well after its release, but Martin Scorsese didn't get the chance to direct a new film right away. He pitched his script, "Cruel Street," to others, but couldn't find an investor. Later, through a friend's introduction, he obtained $150,000 in funds from a young heir, and started work with the original crew of " Boxcar Bertha ". The film is not very well-known among Martin's films, and because the script cannot be changed and the schedule is fixed, Scorsese has little room for himself in this film.
