San Francisco, Mary Blake arrives at Blackie Norton’s Paradise gambling hall and beer garden looking for work as a singer. Blackie embarrasses her by asking to see her legs, but does hire her. She faints from hunger. Nob Hill Socialite Jack Burley and Maestro Baldini of the Tivoli Opera House see her singing and offer her a chance to do opera, but Blackie has her under a two-year contract which she sorrowfully stands by. Later, when he makes up posters featuring Mary in tights, she does leave for the Tivoli. Blackie gets an injunction against Burley, but knocks out the process server when he hears Mary’s performance as Marguerite in “Faust.” She proposes marriage to him and she agrees to go back to the Paradise as his kind of singer, but Blackie’s childhood chum Father Tim intervenes. After Blackie slugs the priest, Mary leaves. She is soon the star of the Tivoli and Blackie’s place is closed down. She sings a rousing “San Francisco” on behalf of the Paradise at the annual “Chicken Ball” and wins the $10,000 prize which Blackie throws to the floor. As she storms out of the hall, a terrible rumble betokens the famous San Francisco earthquake. Buildings collapse, streets split wide open, the city burns, the army dynamites whole sections of town. After staggering around in a stupor, Blackie finds Father Tim and the two of them find Mary at a Salvation Army camp. Backed by hundreds of others, they look out over the ruins which are gradually replaced by the shining new city with a reprise of the title song.

One excellent and earliest disaster drama
 
San Francisco, Excellent MGM drama set before during and a bit after the big San Francisco earthquake. Clark Gable is not that above the rest of the cast, and Jeannette Mc Donald gives here one her best performances, to be the equal of her co star, whom she did not like at all off set. There are many things here that we’ll see in future disaster films in the next decades. This W S Van Dyke’s movie is a perfect piece of work, made by a real pro. The disaster sequences are short but impressive, splendidly shot and especially edited. Far more than today’s CGI crap. I have never seen any scenes like this before, so simple to make I guess, but more efficient than the new generations of movies.

been looking for this for years.

I have yet to watch this but, presentation and, speed of arrival is impressive.

Worth the price

Would give it five stars, but it didn't have a main menu or subtitles. Still, it was great to find such a rare DVD and was worth the wait.

DVD is utter crap

DVD is utter crap,it's not genuine and it is a burnt copy with poor quality. I got burnt purchasing this. Buyer beware this shop is questionable

Unholy trinity

Three stars for the movie only. In spite of having leading actors, I was quite
disappointed with the overall movie. Good western movies are quite a
rarity nowadays.
As for the service, Mr. Brady has always delivered and is a pleasure to talk to.
