TOWN WENT WILD, THE(1944)
Terrible copy, skips, jumps, bad picture bad sound!!
Basic family feud story where two next door families
have been feuding forever, but of course the kids are
hot for each other! This one has a bit of a curve to
it, it seems that the two boys from the feuding families
could have been switched at birth! Complicates the two
lovebirds plans a bit!! There are absolutely no likeable
characters in this! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I wouldn't advise you to go out and seek "The
Town Went Wild" on its own, but if you find it
in a cheap collection of multiple movies like
I did, it's worth a shot. Of course, you'll probably
have to settle for a pretty damaged print, with
entire frames and dialogue lines missing. The film
is no classic, but it's a likable little "comedy
of errors". The premise - boy & girl fall in love
but just before getting married they discover they
are brother & sister! - is bold and unusual for the
1940s, but the film has a safe, reassuring happy
ending. But although this ending may be predictable,
the path to it is less so. The entire (largely
unknown today - the only one I recognized was
Tom Kennedy, Gahagan in the "Torchy Blane" series,
in a two-second cameo) cast is competent, and
Jill Browning, who only made a couple of films,
is a classic all-American sweetheart. **1/2 out
