Country: US
Technical: bw 90m
Director: Michael Curtiz
Cast: Claude Rains, John Garfield, Priscilla Lane, Rosemary Lane, Lola Lane, Gale Page
Synopsis:
The Dean of a musical Foundation lives with his four young adult offspring, to whom he has passed on his musical tastes and gifts. Each also has a young man in mind, but that is all turned upside down when a young, handsome but cynical composer enters their lives.
Review:
Hollywood smooth production treatment at its best - or worst - all treacly music and immaculately groomed close-ups - is pressed into service for this tale of four offputtingly wholesome sisters. Relief comes in the shape of bitter, twisted Garfield.
