Boom Town
Where Men Are Rough And Tough . . . And Like Their Women The Same Way !
Directed by Jack Conway
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A sweeping adventure spanning two decades that traces the rise and fall of oil-driven ambition, grounded in a love triangle and the hard-won lesson that personal bonds matter more than wealth.
Two buddies who rise from fly-by-night wildcatters to oil tycoons over a twenty year period both love the same woman. McMasters and Sand come to oil towns to get rich. Betsy comes West intending to marry Sand but marries McMasters instead. Getting rich and losing it all teaches McMasters and Sand the value of personal ties.
