Tired old queen at the movies

review

San Francisco

T

he great earthquake of 1906 provides the backdrop for a classic tale of adventure and romance starring Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald and Spencer Tracy in W.S. Van Dyke's San Francisco.

Written by Anita Loos, filmed with a cast of thousands , amazing special effects, a top flight supporting cast including Jack Holt and the wonderful Jessie Ralph and with all three stars at the height of their magnetism, San Francisco offers the type of legendary Hollywood glamor that only MGM could provide.

Happy New Year from everyone at Steve Hayes: Tired Old Queen at the Movies!
