Man's Castle
Frank Borzage / US, 1933 / 78 min.
Classic from Columbia Pictures, which recently celebrated its centenary, by great romantic director Frank Borzage, about a complicated romance in hard times: the Great Depression. With Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young, and now screening in the restored version.
Spencer Tracy plays the lead as an inhabitant of a shanty town in Central Park at the height of the Great Depression. Bill is a charming freebooter of the kind we frequently meet in indefatigable optimist Borzage’s films; he survives by taking on all kinds of odd jobs, while maintaining a relationship with attractive, easygoing showgirl Fay La Rue.
