Atlantic City

The Hit Musical Comedy Picture of the Year

NR 1944 · 87 min · ★ 6.3 · Romance, Music

In 1915, Atlantic City is a sleepy seaside resort, but Brad Taylor, son of a small hotel and vaudeville house proprietor, has big plans: he thinks it can be "the playground of the world." Brad's wheeling and dealing proves remarkably successful in attracting big enterprises and big shows, but brings him little success in personal relationships. Full of nostalgic songs and acts, some with the original artists. Reissued in 1950 as "Atlantic City Honeymoon".

Directed by Ray McCarey · Written by Arthur Caesar
