Movie Reviews of Boom Town
Movie Review: Update for the Boom Town DVD by Rags to Riches Reviewer
Summary: 5 Stars
The new DVD sharpens the film up considerably. The Theatrical Trailer is included along with a cartoon and Hollywood short that don't have much of anything to do with this great film. As before, I mentioned that I had hoped that all the film would be put back together and although this is a little better there is still some cutting, including the Oklahoma Indian Land Deal Peace Pipe smoking scene which is still missing here. This film was the biggest money maker in 1940. It won an academy award for special effects and deserved it. Why can't we have the whole production on film? Anyway, I still recommend the film for entertainment value. They don't make films for pure fun anymore but this was one of them.Movie Review: Rousing Adventure Story with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful film! The box office hit of 1940! Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy are wildcatters, men that drill for oil almost anywhere and everywhere they can. They help each other and work together until women and wealth drive them apart. Claudette Colbert plays the love interest whom both men love but only Clark can marry. Wealth and New York City prompt him to look at Hedy Lamarr but never fear, Spencer Tracy is able to set everyone right. The story is thin but the fun is immense. A wonderful entertainment.Movie Review: This movie is cut because.......
Summary: 5 Stars
The reason they cut these old movies is because if 3 people find something offensive, the studios do not want a frivilous law suit on their hands, so it's it's just easier to cut the film to appease the minority of people. Older movies were not politically correct, and as a result, out come the scissors and let's snip away! Yet today's movies try to offend everyone when it comes to sex and drugs, but that's o.k. because it appeals to the 15 year old movie goers. Something wrong with this picture?Movie Review: Six degrees of separation from the Dick Van Dyck Show
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing I can add about this wonderful movie that others haven't alread said. I'm surprised that no one seems to have noticed the screen writer for the included short "Hollywood Hobbies" was Morey Amsterdam who would, 20 years later, gain additional fame as Buddy Sorel on the Dick Van Dyck Show.Movie Review: Boom Town DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie. I would say the inspiration for There will be blood. But this is the case with many of today's films...they re-do the classics.
