Kings Row

Vivid, Powerful Drama - Brings A Great Novel To Life On The Screen.

It´s a quaint turn-of-the-century small town of shady streets, swimming holes and the Sunday afternoon clip-clop of horse and buggy. But that peaceful exterior conceals human lives twisted by cruelty, murder and madness.

Kings Row is one of Warner Bros.´ most distinguished productions, highlighted by an outstanding cast, haunting James Wong Howe cinematography and a somber, emotion-laden Erich Wolfgang Korngold score. Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Betty Field, Claude Rains and Charles Coburn give indelible performances and Ronald Reagan´s portrayal of Drake, a cheerful ne´er-do-well shattered by tragedy, has been hailed as his career best. Nominated for 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Kings Row is a powerful American saga of dreams, despair and triumph.
