Four Daughters
US (1938): Romance/Drama
A touching drama from Warner Bros. about a musical family with four lovely girls. The quiet existence of their Connecticut household is shattered by a parade of men who enter the family's life. One of these characters is the melancholy Mickey Borden (John Garfield) -- a morose piano player whose arrival causes emotional havoc for one of the daughters and for the other man who loves her, too. A wonderfully acted film that inspired two sequels, as well as a remake. Garfield received an Oscar® nomination for his screen debut. Michael Curtiz directs a strong cast that also includes sisters Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola Lane, Gale Page, Claude Rains, Dick Foran, May Robson and Frank McHugh. (amctv.com)
