Four Daughters (1938)

The standout performance was not given by the always great Claude Rains as the father Adam Lemp but by John Garfield as Mickey Borden which earned him a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination in his screen debut who gets involved with Lemp’s household & daughter. Also notable in the cast besides Priscilla Lane are Dick Foran (“The Singing Cowboy“) Jeffrey Lynn Frank McHugh and May Robson.
