Description

This superb filmcell features the twice Oscar winning movie, Boys Town (1938). Stars Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney.

A death row prisoner tells Father Edward Flanaghan (Tracy) he wouldn’t have led a life of crime if only he would of had one friend as a child. Father Flanagan decides to do something about this. Father Flanaghan is an advocate of child rights and an opponent of the severe approach to juvenile delinquency. He genuinely believed that there is no such thing as a bad boy. Starting with just a few boys in a rented house, Father Flanagan eventually establishes Boys Town. This is on 200 acres of land, 10 miles outside of Omaha, Nebraska. The film focuses on Flanagan’s attempts to influence one boy, Whitey Marsh (Tracy). Marsh will become a hoodlum if he doesn’t change his ways. When Whitey is implicated in a bank robbery, it puts all of Boys Town at risk. Throughout it all, Flanagan has to fight prejudice against delinquents. There is also the problem of the never ending shortage of money to accomplish his goals.

This is a Limited Edition Film Cell of just 1000 pieces and comes with a Numbered plaque.
