Description

Thornton Wilder’s Our Town is widely considered to be THE Great American Drama, a sentimental paean to small town Americana that tells the story of two families joined by marriage and separated by tragedy that just happens to be performed on a mostly bare stage. But the 1940 film adaptation starring Martha Scott and William Holden inadvertently challenges the order of importance of these elements— and perhaps it’s not the story of Main Street USA that’s important after all?
