Today Rick and I discuss the classic film Boom Town (1940). This optimistic film has an amazing cast featuring Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, and Chill Wills.

imdb.com states that the movie is "Two buddies who rise from fly-by-night wildcatters to oil tycoons over a twenty-year period both love the same woman."

The acting is great and the lines are snappy. This movie was filmed near the end of the Great Depression and prior to World War II during a pivotal time in the USA.

The Coyote's Tale, a noir mystery by John Cornelison is available on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle
