Boys Town (1938) and Men of Boys Town (1941)

Created: 02/01/07
When I became a Boys Town fan in 1993, I had not heard of Boys Town before!

I started reading some books about Boys Town and lucky enough I saw the two Boys Town movies on German television. This was years ago. I wrote to Boys Town and asked them when they would release the movies "Boys Town" (1938) and "Men of Boys Town" (1941). It took me 12 years of waiting, and in 2005 I was able to buy this wonderfull DVD!

The movies are superb! High quality an a must have for every Boys Town fan!! Wonderfull movies, with father Flanagan at his best!!

Spencer Tracy/ Mickey Rooney Boy's Town

Created: 07/11/08
This movie made an huge impression on me when I was a child, and I wanted to see it with adult eyes. This feel good movie was beautifully acted and is a must see for movie buffs. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, your heart needs a kick in the pants! A small price to pay for the genuine inspiration that Father Flannigan evokes. Based on a true story! A+

Boys Town DVD 1938

Created: 20/01/09
I bought this dvd for a Christmas present, because I'd seen this movie before. Its a good, clean movie with good actors, Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracey. My parents liked it because of the quality of the movie, high quality show with family morals and not a lot of swearing/violence or sexuality.
