About this product

Product Information

A huge-budget drama released by Fox Studios in 1937 in response to MGM's historical-disaster film SAN FRANCISCO, IN OLD CHICAGO is a fictionalized account of Chicago's Great Fire of 1871. Mrs. O'Leary's (Alice Brady, MY MAN GODFREY) two sons couldn't be more different: Jack (Don Ameche, HEAVEN CAN WAIT) is a lawyer in the running to become the mayor of the city, while Dion (Tyrone Power) is a powerful force in the less-reputable echelons of town. In addition to the divergent paths their lives have taken, the brothers are also in love with the same woman, beautiful singer Belle Fawcett (Alice Faye, HELLO, FRISCO, HELLO), whose choice between the brothers only intensifies their rivalry. The feud comes to a head just before Mother O'Leary's famous cow knocks over the fateful lantern, and in the ensuing chaos of the fire, the brothers join forces to salvage the city. Both tragedy and redemption visit the O'Leary family in a dramatic climax that features some stunning special effects footage of the consuming fire, which won the film the 1938 nomination for Best Picture.

  • Super Hollywood production

    This is vintage, prewar Hollywood film making at it's best. The story is not trying to be historically accurate. It tells us what Chicago was like not long after the Civil War. Alice Faye is a great and beautiful actress. It's all very entertaining but the big ending is expertly realized. Most people don't even know that Chicago burned in 1870. This movie has top rate sets, costumes, special effects, acting and direction. I've watched it twice so far.
