Some of the regulars that appeared in supporting roles in A movies sometimes got to play a lead in Bs. For example: James Gleason who worked more than once in Frank Capra films. He played comedy both comedy (Max Corkle in 'Here Comes Mr. Jordan') and drama (Uncle Bertie Steptoe 'The in Night of the Hunter') equally well. James Gleason got to play Inspector Oscar Piper in a series of mysteries, paired with Edna May Oliver. <br /><br />Beulah Bondi got to play a lead in the touching 'Make Way for Tomorrow.' Here she played the wife of Victor Moore. They are an aging couple who are forced to separate when they loose the family home and none of their children are able to take in both of them. The supporting cast included such strong notables as Fay Bainter and Thomas Mitchell. Lesser known, but equally good, is Maurice Moscovitch. It is not a great film, but it does have some delightful moments.<br /><br />I am so glad to have found this blog. Thank you.Christopher Anne Samsonnoreply@blogger.com
