What critics compared San Francisco to
(It speaks to some sort of collective masochism that we take such pleasure in watching ourselves be flattened, or, more likely, we just get a kick out of destruction â cinematically it does, after all, date back at least to 1936âs San Francisco, if not the early silent newsreels.)
The tough-guy couplings go back to Gable and Tracy in "San Francisco," and Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen in the silent "What Price Glory."
