In Old Chicago
Directed by Henry King. Starring Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche. The O'Leary brothers -- honest Jack and roguish Dion -- become powerful figures, and eventually rivals, in Chicago on the eve of its Great Fire.
I normally love old movies, I really do. Not so much this one. I don't know why.. I think the dialogue was just not my favorite? But it did make me google the whole "cow started the great chicago fire" in 1871, only to find out it was a lie that a reporter started and admitted to in 1893. It's not shocking a reporter lied, but that reporters lying to the public to sensationalize a story has been going on for 140 and yet for the most part people believe what they read...
