This was a great read!

Thank you!

His career has so many interesting periods, and I haven't heard of this movie, but I look forward to it now, to see this transitional point.

I had no idea it existed until a couple of nights ago and I couldn't find almost any information about it once I did! It really made me want the time machine for his stage work.

I think the earliest I've seen him is that musical with Betty Grable, the name of which escapes me right now... I think it's the heat!

Sympathies! Last night we had sheet ice.

I have seen him in Two in a Crowd (1936) and Pigskin Parade (1936), both of which are from his first steady year in film. I desperately want to know if Her Unborn Child (1930) survives or whether it's one of the maddeningly lost pre-Codes because it's the earliest he appeared on film full stop. I am not at all sure how good it was from reviews of the time, but it furnished production stills like this one.

ETA: Tin Pan Alley! The title in Spanish is so different that I had to give up and look it up!

I've never seen that one! I've only seen Betty Grable and Elisha Cook Jr. together in I Wake Up Screaming! What is it called in Spanish?
