Hard times - some romantic, some financial - are the focus of two films made in the depths of the Depression. Aline MacMahon's (Dragon Seed, AIl the Way Home) expressive face reflects the joys and sorrows of devotion in Side Streets, the tale of a shopkeeper (MacMahon) who marries an easygoing saiIor (Paul Kelly) for Iove. But he's marrying for a meal ticket. Stranger ln Town stars Charles "Chic" Sale, the vaudeviIle comic renowned for playing cantankerous old-timers decades his senior. Here, he's smaIl-town coot Ulysses Crickle, whose tiny grocery faces ruin when a nationaI chain opens a store right across the street. Look out, corporate fat cats: you don't know what competition is untiI you take on UIysses Crickle! |
