Our Town is a 1940 film adaptation of a play of the same name by Thornton Wilder starring Martha Scott as Emily Webb, and William Holden as George Gibbs. The cast also included Fay Bainter, Beulah Bondi, Thomas Mitchell, Guy Kibbee and Frank Craven. It was adapted by Harry Chandlee, Craven and Wilder, and directed by Sam Wood.
The film was a faithful reproduction of the play except for two significant changes: the film used scenery, whereas the play had not; the events of the third act, which in the play revolve around the death of one of the main characters, were turned into a dream from which Emily awakens — she is then able to resume a normal life. Producer Sol Lesser worked with Wilder in creating these changes.
A radio adaptation of the film on Lux Radio Theater on May 6, 1940, used the altered film ending.
The U.S. copyright of the film was not renewed after its first term expired in 1968. However, because it is a derivative work from a play that is still under U.S. copyright, it is not deemed to be in the public domain.

Iris Dement performing "Our Town" live. The song is also noteworthy for it's use in ending the very final episode of "Northern Exposure's" series finale. OUR TOWN (Iris Dement) And you know the sun's settin' fast and just like they say nothing good ever lasts Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye but hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town goodnight Up the street beside that red neon light that's where I met my baby on one hot summer night He was the tender and I ordered a beer It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here But you know the sun's settin' fast and just like they say nothing good ever lasts Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye...

In the spring of 2012 we travelled over to the further most edge of Wales to make a film about a jeans company who are rebuilding their town. The film didn't get adopted by the company, and so didn't ever get an official launch, but we're proud of it so here it is... http://whitakerstudio.co.uk http://www.openhousecreative.co.uk

I hear something in the sounds that surround me
That only seems to remind me
That I'm lost and longing for a different place and time
I wanna be walking down the avenue
Tall buildings staring down on me and you
But all I have is pictures running through my mind
Sunlight dying
People rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
Gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
Do you remember the promise I gave you?
The one I swore I would hold to
You're there, I'm here and everything I said was wrong
So we're not out with the crowd nights
Not walking under the bright lights
All I can do is dream about it all night long
Sunlight dying
People rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
I gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
It's the place where we keep our hopes and dreams
The place where I've lost my heart, it seems
All people looking for danger and romance
Drop by there while you still have a chance
'Cause it's all gonna tumble down
It's gonna shake apart and crumble to the ground
Do you remember the promise I gave you?
The one I swore I would hold to
You're there, I'm here and everything I said was wrong
So we're not out with the crowd nights
Not walking under the bright lights
All I can do is dream about it all night long
Sunlight dying
And people rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
Yeah, I gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
Sunlight dying
Yeah, people rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
I gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
Sunlight dying
People rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
Well, I gotta grab the next thing back to our town
Before the whole thing crumbles to the ground
Sunlight dying
Yeah, people rushing madly all around
Sirens crying
I gotta grab the next thing back to our town
