Great Romantic and Dramatic Entertainment in Old Chicago
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
This is a Darryl F. Zanuck Production with Tyrone Power as Dion, Alice Faye as Belle, Don Ameche as Jack, Alice Brady as Molly, and Andy Devine as Pickle. Directed by Henry King. Robert D. Webb won an Academy Award for Best Assistant Director. Alice Brady won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The film was a Blockbuster bringing in 2.5 million dollars. I am giving this film 5 big stars!The story is about a pioneer family, the O'Leary's, whose eldest boys gain notoriety and power in Chicago. With the help of his brother Dion (Tyrone Power), Jack (Don Ameche) gets elected mayor. After Jack is in office, the two men disagree over the future of Chicago's slums. Dion decides to use his wife (Alice Faye), as a pawn in his dispute, which intensifies the rivalry and divides the town. The men stay enemies until a massive fire wipes out old Chicago and changes the O'Leary's forever.I grew up watching this film and it has not lost any of it's charm or attraction in all these years. Alice Faye still has a lovely voice and can easily sell a song. Furthermore, the sexual energy she shares with Tyrone Power in this movie is electric! The plot is good enough to give Mr. Power a chance to show that he can act for a change. His audience can see how absolutely gorgeous he was. Don Ameche plays his part as the brother admirably which is what we have come to expect from the fine actor. Your heart will ache for the hard working, ever-suffering Irish mother played to the hilt by Alice Brady. This film was released in 1937, when special effects were limited. Even so, our hat is off to the special effects guys because you believe that Chicago is burning to the ground. This is one of my favorite classic films because it has everything. Romance, good music, rivalry between brothers, a catastrophe, and a suffering mother. Wow!The Features include "Road Show" extended, and Theatrical versions; "Don Ameche: Hollywood's Class Act"; Movietone News Footage of Hollywood Premiere. The film is in full frame format. The DVD has perfect picture and sound. Have fun!
