Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 207<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On July 26, 1934, Warner workhorse Ann Dvorak reported to the set of\u00c2\u00a0Gentlemen Are Born<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>She had finished working on\u00c2\u00a0I Sell Anything <\/strong><\/a>the\u00c2\u00a0day before, which was thankless role in a quickie programmer. Unfortunately, Gentlemen Are Born<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0would not give her much more to do.<\/p>\n

When I first saw Gentlemen Are Born<\/strong><\/a> a number of years ago, I absolutely hated it, mainly because it is such a waste of Ann’s talents. I re-watched it 2011 when it ran on TCM as part of Ann’s “Summer Under the Stars” day, and enjoyed it much more. It still angers me for its under-utilization of Ann, but overall this tale of college graduates who have difficultly adjusting to the real world in the midst of the Great Depression is fairly engaging. It’s also very timely, considering what today’s graduates have been facing the last few years, and the film is a great example of Warner Bros. willingness to tackle topical issues of the day.<\/p>\n

However, it’s still a minuscule role for Ann Dvorak \u00c2\u00a0and therefore my job to complain about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
