Today is the 119th anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire in San Francisco. In 1938, Anatole Litvak directed Bette Davis and Errol Flyn in The Sisters, a melodrama about the trials and tribulations of three sisters in Montana. Bette Davis's character Louise meets Errol Flynn's Frank, a sportswriter and aspiring novelist. Despite her parents' disapproval, they marry and run off to San Francisco. Frank becomes an alcoholic and they aren't happy. Then the 1906 Earthquake and Fire strikes. Much of the earthquake and fire footage came from a Warner Brothers silent film, In Old San Francisco.
