Alice Brady

... for someone to get four acting nominations in four different categories.

Alice Brady, who plays the, uh, ditzy mother who sees pixies when she has a hangover, was nominated for Supporting Actress, and Mischa Auer, who plays her protege, uh, a, a sometime pianist and full-time freeloader-

Yeah

... uh, was nominated for Supporting Actor.

So Eugene Pallette, who played the father, I think will forever be known for his iconic turn as Friar Tuck in the Errol Flynn Adventures of Robin Hood.

That is what I think he will always be best known for.

Um, Alice Brady actually did win an Academy Award the year after for In Old Chicago.

In Old Chicago.

Tony was a

little bit of a basement joint, but it was tremendously popular with young actors and actresses, like Libby Holman, who was starring then in The Little Show, and Alice Brady used to come in, and Dwight D. Wyman, and, of course, Benchley was there, always the center of some mad...

Frolic or others.

It was quite a place.

Hijinks, high hilarity, and wonderful songs ensue as the sisters let nothing and no one stand in their way to break up the romance and bring their father home.

Featuring a stellar cast that also includes Charles Winninger, Benny Barnes, Alice Brady, Ray Milland, very young, and Mischa Auer, the film made Deanna Durbin a household name and endeared her to millions of moviegoing fans.

Uh, bonus features include 100 Years of Universal, the Carl Laemmle Era, and 100 Years of Universal, the Lou Wasserman Era, little, uh, featurettes, um, so that's very cool.

Uh, but yeah, uh, definitely a fun, uh, example of what William Bodine can do.

She originated the role of Marion Hardy in the play Skidding, which later served as the basis for the Andy Hardy film series.

Until 1932, she appeared in several more plays, including Divided Honors, Recapture and Love, Honor and Betray opposite George Brent, Alice Brady, and Clark Gable, and she played in On the Spot and Life Begins.

Her first leading role in Hollywood was as the female lead Olga Stassoff in Little Caesar, co-starring Edward G. Robinson and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and eventually signed a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers in 1932 when Warners asked her to recreate her role in the film adaptation of Life Begins.

In her first five years at the studio, she starred in over 30 films, ranging from drama comedies to pre-code crime tragedies, mystery, comedy, and musicals.
