Man's Castle (Frank Borzage, 1933) Part 1

[singergal57]

I am just reading a terrific new biography of Tracy it is long but superb.

Tracy fell hard for Young, they both were devout Catholics. Tracy was married to a non-Catholic and had a deaf son who also had a myriad of physical problems. The book stated that Young dumped Tracy after going to confession and the Priest would not forgive her sin of adultery. After that she fell for Gable and had an illegitimate child whom she later adopted. She remained a devout Catholic all her life.

The screenplay of this movie is wonderful and without the painfully predictable dialog and sap had the movie been made after the "Code". Excellence in acting give an early confirmation of the brilliance of both of the star performers. The topics in the play ring with relevance in today's world. (I always remain mystified that so many of the comments about the "movies" are actually gossip and opinions about the actors private lives, however long dead.)This movie is a real treat.

Spencer Tracy seems to have been extremely conflicted in his sexuality and drank excessively because of it. Great to see this movie. Thanks for sharing.

I wish they would release this film on DVD

Yes Tracy and Young had an affair. They made a statement at the time saying that since Tracy was married and they were both Catholics there was no future in the relationship and would part.

Thanks for uploading. I'm a big fan of pre-code films and this was quite a treat!

@flytwa707 That is not what I've read about Spencer. He was with Kathryn Hepburn for 25yrs and he stated that he wanted to marry her later on but she refused. What I just read is that he and Loretta had a brief relationship and decided not to continue since they were both Catholic and neither believed in divorce.

Reading the plot this sounds like Pretty woman.

OMG, thanks for uploading this. I've never seen it and am a big fan of Spencer Tracy. Loretta Young was a teenager when she did this film.
