Billie Burke netted a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her batty portrayal of the family matron. Constance Bennett is a delight as the zany daughter and Clarence Kolb is incredibly acrobatic for his age as the put upon husband and father of the group.

The best performance is delivered by Skippy Homeier as Hank Evans, the boy who awakens Mickey's own amorous yearnings.

My Marriage: In this crime
drama, a girl whose father was murdered by gangsters wants to marry
into a rich family. Her fiance's mother hates the idea, but consents to
the marriage so that she can break it up later. However, she changes
her mind about the whole thing when it is revealed that her other son
was involved with the murder.
Wild Gold: This off-beat romantic melodrama contains elements of comedy not
usually found in the genre as it tells the story of the love between a
show girl fleeing from her husband, a grifter. She heads to a mining
company and ends up involved with a dam engineer. When a dam
accidentally breaks, the engineer's wife is conveniently swept away.
Happiness ensues. The flood footage was lifted from The Johnstown Flood (1926).

Mitzi Green Fights Like a Boy! Director Norman Taurog was developing quite a specialty directing kids during the early talkie era, and lucky for us he kept coming back to it. NEWLY RICH (aka FORBIDDEN ADVENTURE, based on Sinclair Lewis' LET'S PLAY KING) is one of the more obscure examples, and deserves our attention.
