Life before and after the earthquake in San Francisco After the mid-30s in America, this film directed by V. S. Van Dyke was very popular and hotly received by its film critics. The film tells the story of love, the conquest of a big city and a sudden large-scale catastrophe that divided living in San Francisco before and after.
We see the story of a provincial girl who moved to the big city to sing at a San Francisco opera. It's the ultimate dream of her life. But you have to go to the dream for a long time, and while the heroine got a singer in one cereal place of one arrogant and famous person in the city. He decides to sign a contract with her, but the girl is true to her dream. Against the background of human passions, natural passions unfold, and the city experiences a terrible earthquake.
Now this movie from the gold fund of old, black and white American films is primarily attracting attention because of some of the actors performing in this film - a disaster starring. I'm talking, of course, about Clark Gable. Everyone loved the American actor after a wonderful film for all time “Gone with the Wind” here plays the main role. It was 1936 and Gable was still building his career as an actor and did not know the huge popularity that would fall on him in 1939 because of Gone with the Wind, but he had already established himself as an actor at that time, and in this film he played a far from simple role. We see the path of his arrogant hero, and the way he changed, and life and love changed him.
My attention was no longer on this actor, but on Spencer Tracy. I love this American actor, and I watched this movie because of him. Tracy played the role of an interesting priest with broad views. He plays such roles, and Spencer was the soul of this film when Clark Gable was the charm of the film. In the female role, a little-known actress Janette McDonald was remembered. It is for her character that you are most worried about in this film.
San Francisco is an American, musical, black and white drama with a flavor of the 1936 disaster genre. The film is atmospheric and shot in the style of expensive films of that time American cinema. Now this picture will be purely for an amateur who loves such old films from the American Golden Fund of cinema. Personally, my opinion about this film is neutral, and I want to pay attention to the acting of the first Hollywood stars of that time. Thank you very much.
