Four Daughters (1938)

This terrific drama about a man with many daughters received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Michael Curtiz), Screenplay Writing (Lenore Coffee & Julius Epstein adapted the Fannie Hurst novel, Sister Act), and Sound Recording. 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.
