Product Description: "There is no such thing as a bad boy." That was the unshakeable belief of Father Edward J. Flanagan (Spencer Tracy), the visionary priest who battled skepticism, poverty, and prejudice to establish a unique sanctuary for homeless youths. In a sprawling Nebraska community built on trust and self-governance, Father Flanagan gives society's forgotten children a second chance at life. But the ultimate test of his philosophy arrives in the form of Whitey Marsh (Mickey Rooney), a fiercely defiant, hyper-aggressive street tough who vows to break every rule in the book. Boasting powerhouse, career-defining performances from its two legendary leads, Boys Town is a deeply moving masterpiece of golden-age Hollywood storytelling. Directed by Norman Taurog, this enduring testament to compassion and redemption earned five Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture—and won Oscars® for its poignant screenplay and for Tracy's unforgettable, heart-wrenching lead performance
