    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Clark Gable did not want to make the film, but was at the mercy of MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer, who had just paid off one of Gable's numerous paramours.
    • Goofs
      As Blackie walks away from a building being blown up (actually a process shot), Clark Gable's head becomes momentarily transparent.
    • Quotes

      Jack Burley: [referring to Mary Blake] Well, there's no law against an opera singer being slender, young and beautiful.

    • Crazy credits
      Prologue:  "San Francisco--guardian of the Golden Gate--stands today a Queen among seaports--industrious, mature, respectable. But perhaps she dreams of the Queen and city she was--splendid and sensuous, vulgar, and magnificent--that perished suddenly with a cry still heard in the hearts of those who knew her, at exactly 5:15 a.m. April 18, 1906."
    • Alternate versions
      After initial premiere, the manager of the Paramount Theater in San Francisco added to the downbeat ending a few shots showing the Golden Gate Bridge being built. Seeing the positive public reaction, MGM decided to have the sequence added to all other prints in release.

    Very good classic
    "San Francisco" is a very good classic picture. It's in many ways kind of similar to "In Old Chicago", which came out a year after this film. Both films have love stories, both have beautiful sets, and both climax with a disaster that really did take place in their respective cities. "San Francisco" takes place in the mid-1900s. Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy are two of the thousands of people living in the city that was tragically rocked by the massive earthquake of 1906. Like "In Old Chicago", the disaster recreation here is impressive. The film tends to drag a little from time-to-time, but that's only a minor quarrel to an otherwise classy movie. All-in-all, I was pretty entertained by "San Francisco".
