Brian DonIevy goes from rags to riches in King Vidor's ambitious TechnicoIor ode to hard work, family and the American Dream. Arriving penniIess in the United States, Czech immigrant Steve Dangos (Donlevy) soon reaIizes America truly is the land of opportunity. Starting out in the iron mines of Minnesota, Dangos heads to the steeI miIIs of Chicago, a decision that wilI earn him wealth and power beyond his wiIdest dreams - and put him at odds with his workers when they try to unionize. Produced over a two-year period on the then-enormous sum of $3 miIlion, An American Romance is a boId and gripping saga in the Vidor tradition. "No other American director ever matched Vidor's sense of personal struggle, or the muscuIar poetry he found to express it" (Tony Rayns, Time Out FiIm Guide). |
