Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his portrayal of Father Flanagan, who opens Boys Town and dedicates himself to helping juvenile delinquents go straight. Mickey Rooney plays one of the tougher kids, figuring out early on that Flanagan is nobody's fool. Warmhearted and inspiring, the film's inevitable sentimentality is nicely cut by Tracy's performance and a smart script by Eleanore Griffin and Dore Schary (who also won Oscars). A good film for all ages, directed by Norman Taurog (Adventures of Tom Sawyer). --Tom Keogh

- NEBRASKA'S HOME OPENER-2008
Tracy won his second consecutive Oscar, portraying the eminent Fr. Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, Omaha Nebraska. While the movie is biographically way off, the ultimate goal of one man stands today for all to see, visit, perhaps attend. It is probably the first movie I ever saw on television, and a favorite of my father, who first saw it in 1938. And why not? Tracy's performance is augmented by a cast of hundreds, all seemingly perfectly cast One knew early on that Rooney could cut the mustard; one of the best actors of any age, his smallish stature limiting his roles,but totally unforgettable here as Whitey Marsh.Kudos also to Reynolds, Hull and Fenton, doing their best to avoid turning the film into a melodrama. Nothing makes me madder than when some cocksure rookie reviewer labels this movie as "syrupy" or "corny". This was, is, will be always the genuine article.
