Does anyone remember the movie with burl Ives in it, he is a dr. in low income neighborhood, there is a woman who does peoples ironing for a living and her son is
A street junkie. It's a old old movie :D

I don't know the movie you are looking for, but if you go to this link Burl Ives and scroll down the page it will show you a list of all the movies he's been in. Hopefully you'll be able to find what movie you are looking for from there.

I'm glad I could help.
