I remember when I was a young boy and seeing this movie. It had all the fun and sadness of that time frame. I related to the father since my dad worked on the railroad. The boys receiving their first communion and I begin catholic and my brother in law serving in the navy. I know it had a sad ending and of course it wasn't till later in life did I realize the importance of the story. I have seen it a couple of times over the past years on T V but its been awhile now. I recommend that any father and mother if they can rent or buy this movie for their sons and daughters to watch they should do it. It is truly an Inspiration to America.

King Kelly of the U.S.A.
(1934)
Just a good old fashion 30' movie.
15 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Well it was an old movie from the 30's. So naturally it wasn't up to todays standards and a little lame. But yet you see and find very up to date remarks and acting talents. Edgar Kennedy stole the show. It even had (and please for give me I cant think of her name) the black actress who played an Aunt Jamime character. It was a lame but still an entertaining movie. I did recognize a few faces from movies I remember from the late forty's and early fifty's when I was younger and went to a lot of movies. Its a little hard to give ten lines to a 66minute movie. I did like the scene of the air blast from the floor, blowing up the ladies skirts, a forshadow to a future Marlyn Monroe movie. Its fun to see the mistakes.
