''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. ==Cast== * William Holden - George Gibbs * Martha Scott - Emily Webb * Fay Bainter - Mrs. Julia Gibbs * Dix Davis- Joe Crowell Jr. * Beulah Bondi - Mrs. Myrtle Webb * Thomas Mitchell - Dr. Frank F.
