About Buy Me That Town
A gangster and his mob buy a small-town in this warm comedy. They, tired of trying to make it as big city hoods, buy the town to use as a hideout. The leader of the gang begins to have a change of heart after he begins falling for a local girl.
Directed by Eugene Forde, Buy Me That Town leans on a strong ensemble — Lloyd Nolan, Constance Moore, Albert Dekker — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1941.
