Leave your thoughts about Boom Town.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's fine in the oil fields, but is a mess when indoors. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA fun comedy-adventure, starring MGM's top talent, Clark Gable and Spence Tracy, not to mention Claudette Colbert |
| User ReviewPrivate ULong, but a good story of doing business. |
| User ReviewK SThis was so amazingly great! Great fight scene, firefighting scene, romance... I think I like it even better than Gone with the Wind! |
| User ReviewHedy LA clash of the stars: this film is viewable because the stars are shining. Allusions to Gables' real illegitimate. Enjoy! |
| User ReviewStan DClark Gable and Spencer Tracy are oil men, searching for the big strike, and meet Frank Morgan, who makes a wizard of oz joke or two, and finances them. The woman in the triangle is Claudette Colbert, and the femme fatale is Hedy LaMarr. |
| User ReviewMadi BI personally thought that this was an amazing Romantic and Adventurous film. This is now one of my favorite films that I've ever seen. It had a large list of very well known stars. It was set in a western and modern (for the 1940's) setting. It even had a couple of scandalous points. I really have never seen anything that has kept my attention so well throughout an entire film. I thought that the film was going to be boring because it looked like an old western (which I find cheesy and boring) but then I recognized the voices and noticed who the actors were and I was entranced immediately and I was absolutely amazed at how well I enjoyed it. It was kind of like a western but it ended up even better than that. It ended up as an adventure. |
| User ReviewChance CGreat Film!!! I don't think Hollywood allows a film about OIL! to be made under 2 hours. Gable and Tracy shine together as always. |
| User ReviewRichard SSay, that's some flick: Wonderful and wonderfully hokey rags to riches to rags story, filled with great performances and bent arm fight sequences. Gable is squared-jawed great, and the film is filled with a optimism that is simply, well, swell. |
| User ReviewVincent HJust a real feel good movie. Nothing too serious and again, Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy prove their greatness. |
