BOYS TOWN (1938) ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Norman Taurog
Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney,
Henry Hull, Gene Reynolds
Father Flanagan (Spencer Tracy) fights to build a home for delinquent boys. It ain't easy. Classic Americana, a signature studio product from MGM's golden age. Mickey Rooney chews up everything but the floorboards, while Tracy coasts to his second straight Academy Award.
