...What a perfect opportunity to see Beantown. I'll bet many of you have never been to the Museum of Fine Arts or the Museum of Science, or seen the USS Constitution, or walked the Freedom Trail. Hell, I know a guy who in his three years here has yet to see the Atlantic Ocean. If the thermometer reaches the fifties or sixties some day next week I'll be headed for its shores.

...last movie scheduled to play Manhattan's doomed Radio City Music Hall. The choice could not be more appropriate, for Crossed Swords is the quintessential Music Hall film: an undemanding, all-star family entertainment with period sets and costumes bathed in ersatz gold.
