Boys Town DVD Video Movie - Starring Mickey Rooney & Spencer Tracy

Boys Town - Today they grow up lawless on the streets. Tomorrow they're on Death Row. Father Edward Flanagan vows to break the cycle, putting his life where his faith is and starting a home for boys that becomes a model of hope. Then along comes a youth who could destroy it all. Renowned actor Spence Tracy brings convincing inner strength to the role of Father Flanagan in a performance that made him the first to win consecutive Best Actor Academy Awards? There is no bad boy, Flanagan insists. But brash troublemaker Whitey Marsh (Mickey Rooney) puts that credo to the test. Nominated for a total five Academy Awards (including Best Picture), this warm and compelling movie also took the Oscar for Best Original Story. DVD / 93 min.
