Spencer Tracy gives a memorable performance as a resourceful, charismatic hobo who rescues and charms Loretta Young’s young homeless woman. Taking up residence together in his Hooverville shack, his carefree ways mask a sheer terror of commitment. A romance and an unflinching social drama, Man’s Castle conveys a typically poetic spirit in its proposition that true love conquers all.
