Boys Town and Its Star Ties to Reform Myth

A retrospective on the 1938 MGM film Boys Town highlights its ties to Father Flanagan and Hollywood figures. It notes Newt Gingrich's endorsement, Spencer Tracy's offscreen struggles, MGM’s promotional advice, and the film’s mixed reception and lasting Oscar legacy.
