TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains a lot of references to sexual assault that takes place in the movie.

Another in the “musical drama disaster film” genre of San Francisco, this week’s movie is a fictional telling of the family of Mrs. O’Leary, whose cow, for at least a century, was held responsible for starting the Chicago Fire.

It’s also the last film of 1937, so find out if the Academy’s winner holds up!
