Four Daughters (1938)

Claude Rains’s four daughters are all musically talented and ready to catch the eyes of the male musicians and neighbors who visit their home. The daughters are played by three of the Lane Sisters and Gale Page. Unfortunately Page sticks out as a sore thumb amongst the actual siblings. Though she tries, she lacks their natural camaraderie and charm. The story itself is mostly unmemorable with unnecessary tension added to the obvious central romance between Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn.   Best Picture Nomination
