Splendor

Another Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrae film ! when the son Brighton (McCrae) brings home new wife Phyllis (Hopkins), the family is disappointed, and take it out on them. They had wanted him to marry Edit (Ruth Weston) , who had too much money and would have solved all their problems. David Niven is Clancey. Paul Cavanagh is the interloper. Billie Burke (Mrs. Ziegfeld Jr, who will be "Glinda, the good witch" in Wizard of Oz! ) is Clarissa. Mama Lorrimore is so mean to Phyllis, it's amazing Phyllis sticks around. they are all tested when they go out of town. can Brighton make his own way, or will his own family mess up his chances with success, as well as his marriage? filmed at Big Bear and Arrowhead, just like Richest Girl. it's okay. the depression was just about done, and we were years away from another world war. directed by Elliot Nugent. probably his biggest films were Gatsby and Male Animal. started out as a play by Rachel Crothers, who wrote TONS of things along the way.
