In this 1936 musical-drama disaster film, a beautiful singer and a battling priest team up to reform a Barbary Coast saloon owner in San Francisco on the eve of the devastating earthquake that would change the city forever. As Mary Blake, Jeanette MacDonald, navigates her love life between two rival suitors, Blackie Norton (Clark Gable) and Nob Hill scion Jack Burley (Jack Holt), the city teeters on the brink of disaster. In the end, a rousing performance by Mary at the annual Chickens Ball, accompanied by "San Francisco," becomes an anthem for the survivors, while a heartwarming reunion with Blackie brings hope to those left homeless in the aftermath of the disaster.
