This was a decent movie that was directed by Henry King and stars Tyrone Power and Don Ameche. This is a disaster movie about the 1871 Chicago fire that destroyed most of the city but this movie isn't as good as some of the other disaster movies at that time like "San Franisco" and "The Hurricane". The movie starts out with a family moving to Chicago and the father is killed on the way there. The mother gets a job as cleaner and Power grows up to become corrupt and makes his money illegally and Ameche becomes a lawyer. Power is rivals with Brian Donlevy and when Donlevy decides to run for mayor, Power gets Ameche to run also. It's not bad but there are some better disaster movies out there.
