Review of Four Daughters (1938) by Adrian B — 30 Jun 2012
A household is comprised of a musical family in which a father (Claude Rains) conducts a choir and band of out his four daughters (Priscilla, Rosemary, and Lola Lane, along with Gale Page). In a process of a year, all begin to take diverting routes, two falling in love with the same guy, ensuing a strange love triangle, another one gets married, while the remaining one gets accepted into school.
To me, this leads to a disappointing, mediocre film, especially under "Casablanca" director Michael Curtiz. It says this is a musical drama, but it's just relentless protégé of situations revolving around the four daughters that slightly go somewhere, with minimal singing and if there is any, it's not memorable.
Passable, but forgettable entertainment.
