The Royal Family of Broadway
US (1930): Comedy
Julie Cavendish (Ina Claire) comes from a family of great Broadway actors. Her mother Fanny (Henrietta Crosman) staunchly continues acting. Her boisterous brother Tony (Fredric March) is fleeing a breach of promise suit in Hollywood. Her daughter Gwen (Mary Brian) must decide between going on stage, or settling down in a conventional marriage. Julie is just thinking that it would be nice to retire and get married, when who should turn up but her old beau, Gilmore Marshal (Frank Conroy), the platinum magnate from South America.
Herman J. Mankiewicz and Gertrude Purcell adapted Edna Ferber & George S. Kaufman's hit play to the screen. George Cukor and Cyril Garner directed this Paramount release. (Will Gilbert, IMDb)
