So here we are, me and John, watching Boys Town; 1938 B&W movie with Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracy. Based on the real life story of Father Flanagan.
Ten minutes into the movie and the tears are falling. It's what happens to W.O.Ws.
The music, the buildings, the clothes, the cars -- all of it touches my heart. And not just because it illicits memories of my childhood.
Have you ever seen it? You should. The message, the music, memories from my childhood. But so much more.
Maybe it WAS Hollywood -- but these stories always had a message. A moral message. This movie epitomises it.
If ever we needed the message of this movie . . .
