It's odd that no one, not even a professional reviewer, notes the rather obvious fact that "Pittsburgh" is a remake of "Boom Town". John Wayne, Randolph Scott and Marelene Dietrich reprise the roles originally played by Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Claudette Colbert, and Oklahoma oil fields become Pittsburgh steel mills. The plot remains the same: (SPOILERS follow) two friends with a common girl friend become successful partners, then eventually become rivals when one of them (Gable in the original, Wayne in the remake) lets success get to his head, gets involved with wealthy people and marries into society, then lets his boorish behavior get him booted out. Meanwhile, his former friend marries the girl and is highly successful.

"Pittsburgh" is the second movie for the team of Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott, and John Wayne. It is better than "The Spoilers". It is fun to see almost the same cast in completely different movies.

Ms. Dietrich becomes a career woman and is the love interest for both men. The musical score is beautiful but repetitious. This is a good "B" movie with an "A" cast. Too bad they never worked again, for instance, in another western. It's fun to see Mr. Scott as a mature love interest.
