The Saturday Night Movie - San Francisco

Tonight's The Saturday Night Movie is San Francisco (1936) starring Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald and Spencer Tracy.  A fun movie, set in the Barbary Coast of old San Francisco in a time leading up to the film's climax, the 1906 Earthquake.  Great singing, man Jeanette MacDonald could sing!  Fun 1936 special effects for the earthquake.  Some good historical bits: the Army taking charge, looters shot, and a couple of great shots of Marines on guard, patrol and demolition duty.  Then a final scene of redemption for Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey the priest gets him and Gable gets the girl.
