Kings Row (1942 Sam Wood)

Thoughts: I love Ann Sheridan. She is in fact star billed, even though she doesn't appear until an hour and three minutes in. Does she have a slight, cute double chin? Do I care? She was filming this concurrently with The Man Who Came to Dinner.

It's a studio picture. All of Kings Row was created on the Warner Brothers back lot by William Cameron Menzies. The stretch of river bank is probably where The Adventures of Robin Hood was shot.

It's - as we all know - a sensational score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.. BUT, you get extra marks for realising that it is orchestrated by Hugo Friedhofer.

The fact the disc went wrong 1, 19 in wasn't annoying at all.
