The great director,von sternberg made this film at a time when his career was in decline and he could not get work in the hollywood studios. However, he has made a fine film giving a straigt forward account of life in a smallish usa town during w. war 2

I was born in Madison, it still looks very much the same way it does in this film. I never saw it growing up, but it was wierd seeing it here. This film I have been told, sparked the interest of Vincente Minnelli, who directed Some Caming Running, starring Frank Sinatra. It was filmed there in 1958 to potray 1948 Parkman, Indiana.

I finally got the whole meaning of Our Town and what the heck this was made in the final images, though some of you probably would figure it out much faster then old slow-poke here. What we see is your typical American Town! The malt shop, the bowling alleys, the schools, the churches, etc etc. Isnt small town life wonderful? Again, I was scratching my head over why this was made. At first thought, I was like, was this made for big city folk to show what people are like outside the big city? But then, at the very end, we see troops liberating a town during the war, and how this was a war…
