Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Fox's Jones Family series (1936-1940), this was Depression-era comfort food—wholesome middle-class families solving problems through love and mild incompetence.
Spring Byington later became a household name on TV's 'December Bride'; this was her 47th film in just 8 years.
