This was the second and last exception to the “Everything on the screen” policy that prevailed at the Capitol from 1935-43. MGM and Eddie Cantor himself were nervous about his return to moviemaking in a sentimental comedy-drama that was different from anything he’d done before. In August of the previous year, the Capitol had coupled “The Wizard of Oz” with stage support from Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney.
