Average Rating: 
Rating: - Kings Row
This is an outstanding film starring Ronald Reagan, Robert Cummings, Ann Sheridan, Claude Rains, Charles Coburn and Betty Field. (1942) I have been looking for this film and was delighted when I found it available on Amazon.com. It is a great story and I thank you for providing it to me. I strongly recommend this film.

Rating: - A Dark Masterpiece
"King's Row" is one of the darkest masterpieces ever to come out of the Hollywood studio system. Released on February 2, 1942, this scathing attack on turn of the century small town American life probably would not have been made in patriotic, post-Pearl Harbor USA. As it was, filming was nearly completed when the Japanese attacked. Though Warner Brothers executives were fearful the movie might be too depressing for patrons so soon after their country had gone to war, "King's Row" found it's audience ... Read More
