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.

Timeless special effects created in 1936 by John Hoffman

John Hoffman (my father) was responsible for the Great Earthquake scene and a number the other montage sequences in the film. A friend of his, the film preservationist David Shepard, tells me the film had already been shot, but the studio execs weren't happy with it. So, they handed it over to the then head of MGM's Montage Department, John Hoffman, to see if he could salvage it. Hoffman rewrote, directed and edited many of the scenes. The result: five Oscar nominations (including 'Best Picture') and one win ('Best Sound') released in 1936, it preceded the introduction of the Oscar for Special Effects award by a few years.

A few years ago, when the Academy Awards Ceremony featured a review of the greatest disaster films ever made, I was disappointed to note that San Francisco hadn't been included. Still, from reading the reviews posted here, it's great to see how many people still appreciate it today.
