Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's great drama!"; "Screen Play by John Meehan and Dore Schary"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a true story, with only slight embellishment, of the great work done by the real-life Father Flanagan; the actual Boys Town was not much different than the one depicted in the movie, but interestingly, due to the overwhelming success of this movie, the real Boys Town has received so many charitable donations over the years that it is a very wealthy institution!) starring Spencer Tracy (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film, as Father Flanagan), Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull, Leslie Fenton, Gene Reynolds, Edward Norris, Bobs Watson, and Bohunk (the dog, as himself!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that all of these stills are reference set photos. All of them have a visible clapboard in the image that gives the details about the movie. The studios would use these images for reference if they needed to shoot additional footage at a later time after the set was taken down. All of the stills have "RETURN TO PROPERTY DEPT." stamped on the back! Finally note that there are some punch holes in one edge of the stills (in this case they were almost certainly placed there by the studio, similar to key book stills that were held in a binder so that they could easily be reviewed). Condition: good to very good. Each of the stills has punch holes in one edge (see above) and some writing at lower right (and some have an ink stamp there a well.) The set reference photos are otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
