No I can’t, but at 62 yrs old, I’m not Broadway’s target audience anymore. That’s why Hamilton was so successful, as its appeal was drawing in heavily on the under 40 crowd. And it certainly did that with great success. The same thought process went into producing an all-female broadway cast...

A stiffly acted film, which probably would have been more natural with John Wayne in the Tracy role…but I’ll still buy it

Absolutely one of Capra’s best endings…and that is saying something! Not my favorite Capra, but as Josh states in his review…made during his peak years (‘34-‘46), so it’s still pretty darn great

Yup, looks like same yellow adobe bricks on the tithe card

Love this movie. Must have seen it at least 4 times now

This was also the name of Chuck Robeson’s autobiography, which I’m fortunate enough to own a copy of

Another excellent review Matt. I will say in response to your one minor quibble, the scene where Wayne comes back from from wagon and relates the story was done on purpose by Ford. John Wayne had never done such a long scripted speech at that point in his career, and Ford wanted to push his...

Excellent review. Like you, I think my favorite part of The Boob was the dream sequence, with all the Harry’s continuously coming out from different parts of the car
