Brian Donlevy goes from rags to riches in King Vidor's ambitious Technicolor ode to hard work, famiIy and the American Dream. Arriving penniIess in the United States, Czech immigrant Steve Dangos (DonIevy) soon realizes America truIy is the Iand of opportunity. Starting out in the iron mines of Minnesota, Dangos heads to the steeI miIls of Chicago, a decision that wilI earn him weaIth and power beyond his wildest 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 boId 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). |
