Classic Movie Colorized: A Stranger in Town - In a small corrupt town, an honest crusading lawyer running for mayor gets unexpected help from a tourist who happens to be a Supreme Court judge.
A Stranger in Town (1943)
Director: Roy Rowland
Writers: Isobel Lennart (original screenplay), William Kozlenko (original screenplay)
Stars: Frank Morgan, Richard Carlson, Jean Rogers
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Country: United States
Language: English
Release Date: April 1943 (USA)
Filming Location: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios - 10202 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, California, USA
Synopsis:
In the small town of Crown Port local attorney Bill Adams is trying to break up the ring of corrupt town officials by running for mayor. The cards seemed stacked against him when he gets help from a visiting hunter who, unknown to Adams and the rest of the town, is actually vacationing supreme court justice John Josephus Grant.
Reviews:
"Absolutely an outstanding movie. "A Stranger In Town" has laughs, fun moments, drama, tension and manages to keep it all lighthearted enough to make it an enjoyable movie for one and all. Frank Morgan (Wizard Of Oz 1939) is excellent as a vacationing Supreme Court Justice who stumbles into a corrupt town's government. Richard Carlson (Hold That Ghost 1941) is just as good as a small town lawyer trying to right a system gone wrong. The supporting cast is equally as entertaining (Jean Rogers, Porter Hall, Robert Barrat, etc...) in this great, great movie. While the director Roy Rowland (Dr. Seuss's The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr.T. 1953) is new to me, it is a marvelous job of direction on his part that also helps to make this an A movie for me."

Truly, there is moral decline, but not just in the United States, but globally. When once there was more honesty, more trustworthiness, more dependability, more humility, more moral cleanness a generation ago, there is now dishonesty, untrustworthiness, more undependability, arrogance, and immoral or amoral character, allowing for the LGBTQ community to thrive, so that "law is paralyzed, and justice is never carried out (even by the Supreme Court of the United States). For the wicked surround the righteous; That is why justice is perverted."(Habakkuk 1:4) It is as seen at Jeremiah 5 in the Bible regarding the two tribe kingdom of Judah just before their destruction by King Nebuchadnezzar of ancient Babylon from 609-607 B.C.E.: "Roam the streets of Jerusalem. Look around and take note. Search her public squares to see whether you can find a man who acts with justice, one who seeks to be faithful........" "Even if they say: “As surely as Jehovah (God's name, see Isa 12:2, KJV) is alive ! (making it appear that they love God when in fact it is only a facade)”, they would still swear to what is false........Should I not call them to account for these things ?” declares Jehovah. “Should I not avenge myself on such a nation ?" "Something appalling and horrible has occurred in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, and the priests dominate by their own authority. And my own people LOVE it that way. But what will you do when the end comes (at "the war of the great day of God the Almighty" called Armageddon, Rev 16:14, 16)?”(Jer 5:1, 29-31) Soon, this will happen: "For evil men will be done away with, but those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, and they will not be there (not even one single wicked person remaining, see Prov 2:21, 22). But the meek (or humble ones who "tremble" at Jehovah's words, see Isa 66:2) will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.......forever."(Ps 37:9-11, 29)

I could not help but swoon over what I saw in this film. Here's a list of what I can recall: - Man brings a shotgun into a courtroom -- no one bats an eye. - Telephone service was handled by actual PEOPLE. Seemed to work pretty well too. - Those steam locomotives seemed to get on well too. - Watch the film yourself and see how many 'improvements' technology has 'done' for us or to us. Hmm, which would I prefer, 2023 or 1943? Governments were just as corrupt back then as they are now -- MORE corrupt now, I think!

They were as corrupt then as they're now! This is a fictional story! More people were being executed those days than they're now in the USA!

@E-Kat 5 ай бұрын

In 1940 there were about 150 people executed , in that year alone!! But in 2023 there were 25 people executed in the USA! That must say something about the government and the judiciary system. 25 people is still 25 people too many!! The number of people executed but later found innocent was also higher than its now. More judges took bribes as it was more difficult to catch them! Now hey could be filmed or recorded very easily so they probably have a second thought before doing so.

Yeah, they repeat the same movies over and over, and there is always some left out that you never see. Maybe they don’t own them, or they haven’t been remastered. I don’t know. Some actors that were pretty popular in their time don’t get played much, like Joel McCrea and Melvyn Douglas. I’m glad I can find some on KZfaq.
