Men of Boys Town (1941) |
Boys Town (sh. Grad dječaka) je američki crno-bijeli film snimljen 1938. godine u režiji Normana Tauroga. Scenario je inspiriran stvarnim događajima, odnosno aktivnostima katoličkog svećenika Edwarda J. Flanagana koji je osnovao sirotište za "problematične" adolescente poznato kao "Grad dječaka". Zaplet je uglavnom fiktivne prirode i prikazuje kako se Flanagan (čiji lik tumači Spencer Tracy) bori da nadvlada predrasude i strah okoline, pogotovo kada jedan od njegovih štićenika (čiji lik tumači Mickey Rooney) zapadne u nevolje. Boys Town, koji je svojom socijalnom porukom pogodio sentiment publike još uvijek neoporavljene od Velike depresije, postigao je veliki komercijalni uspjeh. Sljedeće godine je Tracy za svoj nastup nagrađen Oscarom za najboljeg glumca. Godine 1941. je snimljen nastavak pod naslovom Men of Boys Town.
Iako su specijalnost njegovog studija bili raskošni eskapistički spektakli, mjuzikli i melodrame, šef MGM Louis B. Mayer je izjavio da mu je upravo Boys Town najdraži film.
