Wissenswertes
Clark Gable did not want to make this film but he was at the mercy of MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer, who had just paid off one of his numerous paramours.

Patzer
As Blackie walks away from a building being blown up (actually a process shot), Clark Gable's head becomes momentarily transparent.

Zitate
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."

Alternative Versionen
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.

wait for it

San Francisco, like so many other films from this era, just reminds me again how movies today have lost the art of the build-up. They just hit you over the head with mind-numbing action from frame one. Hollywood(and audiences of today) would do well to watch classics like "San Francisco", where story takes precedence over special effects and when the effects do come, they are in service to the story. And they mean so much more and have so much more impact when held back until the last possible moment. Why can't we allow ourselves to be immersed in the story? Or are we just too impatient for it now?
