Mamele (1938 Yiddish Polish Musical) (Full Movie with English subtitles)

Molly Picon shines as Mamele (little mother), the dutiful daughter keeping her family intact after the death of their mother. She's so busy cooking, cleaning, and matchmaking for her brothers and sisters that she has little time for herself, until she discovers the violinist across the courtyard.The musical comedy drama was entirely shot in Łódź, Poland.It embraces the diverse gamut of interwar Jewish life in Poland, with its nogoodniks and unemployed, nightclubs and gangsters, and the celebration of Sukkot. As for the romantic finale - it involves a scene-stealing ketzele (kitten) which will have cat lovers purring.

Film titles say copyright was 1939, if I’m reading the Roman numerals correctly.

I feel like she got a bad ending that looked good because of the wedding.
I think its a cultural differences. In an American film she would've run off with the male lead and never gone back to her family; but here she's trapped by responsibility to the children.
