Review of Our Town

Our Town (1940)
6/10
The passage of time in the life of a small town
20 May 2021
A drama that involves the passage of time in small towns, directed by Sam Wood, starring a young Martha Scott and William Holden supported by Fay Bainter and Thomas Mitchell.

It made me entertaining, capable is not so dynamic but it is concise and you can easily understand the whole development. I assume that this film version was thought from projecting emotion and for the time I think it achieves it. Simple resources like the narrator makes it a neat tape. There are rare scenes like the ghost talk capable not very well carried out technically but the intention is noticeable.

Martha Scott is doing great, brings freshness and the strongest drama. Oscar winners Fay Bainter and Thomas Mitchell supported very well.

Film nominated for 6 Oscars, including: 'Best Picture' and 'Best Actress' for Scott.
