Eleanore Griffin

In 1940s New York, a white widow who dreams of being on Broadway has a chance encounter with a black single mother, who becomes her maid.

Dir. Douglas Sirk · With Lana Turner, John Gavin, Juanita Moore

Devout but iron-willed Father Flanagan leads a community called Boys Town, a different sort of juvenile detention facility where, instead of being treated as underage criminals, the boys are shepherded into making themselves better people. But hard-nosed petty thief and pool shark Whitey Marsh, the impulsive and violent younger brother of an imprisoned murderer, might be too much for the good father's tough-love system.

Dir. Norman Taurog · With Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull
