The Hollywood Studios, Year-By-Year Fox Film Corporation, 1930 Up the River and Liliom

Published: Oct. 24, 2019, 6:26 a.m.

We declare the year 1930 CANCELLED prior to discussing John Ford's UP THE RIVER & Frank Borzage's LILIOM (little known today - but based on the same source as the musical CAROUSEL). We consider the different (maybe opposite) ways in which these Fox movies portray sympathy for the victims of class society without criticizing the system, in contrast to a Warner Bros.-style treatment of similar material.\xa0
