Brian Donlevy goes from rags to riches in King Vidor's ambitious Technicolor ode to hard work, family and the American Dream. Arriving penniless in the United States, Czech immigrant Steve Dangos (Donlevy) soon realizes America truly is the land of opportunity. Starting out in the iron mines of Minnesota, Dangos heads to the steel milIs of Chicago, a decision that wiIl earn him weaIth and power beyond his wiIdest dreams - and put him at odds with his workers when they try to unionize. Produced over a two-year period on the then-enormous sum of $3 milIion, An American Romance is a bold and gripping saga in the Vidor tradition. "No other American director ever matched Vidor's sense of personaI struggIe, or the muscular poetry he found to express it" (Tony Rayns, Time Out Film Guide). |
