Review of Our Town

Our Town (1940)
7/10
Worth a look
7 July 2005
Quirky. Saw this on a cheap "three old films for £3.99 DVD" and wasn't expecting that much. However, I was pleasantly surprised, quite adventurous for 1940 I thought and what a sad end. I enjoyed the way we moved into 20th century, the subtle changes and quite hoped that the story would have continued up to 1940.

Faults. Spent ages building up the characters and then seemed to run out of time and rushed the end. The final scene in the grave yard was over stretched as well.

Good. William Holden, probably the first early film I have seen of him and can see why he was so popular with the ladies, and the story was just so different (original?). For the price of a coffee you can't go wrong.
