Boom Town (1940)
Country: US
Technical: bw 120m
Director: Jack Conway
Cast: Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr
Synopsis:
A beautiful woman threatens to get in the way of a beautiful friendship.
Review:
A sprawling series of scenes separated by montages as it charts the events of several years with several omissions, over-simplifications and sheer flukes in the working out of the plot. Typical A movie fare, therefore, overlong and full of its own importance, but providing moments of drama, decent acting, likeable people and the luminous presence of Hedy Lamarr.
