Side Streets / Stranger in Town

San Francisco shopkeeper Bertha (Aline MacMahon) gives a down-on-his-luck sailor Tim (Paul Kelly) a job, and it isn't long before the pair is headed down the aisle, in "Side Streets." But their happiness is short-lived thanks to the appearance of a woman from Tim's past, who claims he's the father of her child, and Bertha's flirtatious sister, who has set her sights on the sailor. Ann Dvorak, Dorothy Tree also star. And, "Stranger in Town" is a seriocomic tale about how the residents of a small town rally around their local grocer when he stands up to a corporate chain store that has moved into the neighborhood. Vaudeville comedian Charles "Chic" Sale stars along with Dvorak, David Manners, Raymond Hatton, Noah Beery. 128 min. total on two discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; theatrical trailer.
