Anecdotes
Her appearance here gives Sara Haden the distinction of having had roles in both of MGM'S longest-running and most popular film franchises. She also played the recurring character of "Aunt Milly" in the "Andy Hardy"" movies. Interestingly, Haden's final screen appearance was a guest shot on the 1960s TV series Dr. Kildare (1961).

TV series of its time

Dr. Kildare (Lew Ayres) assists wheelchair-bound dying Dr. Gillespie (Lionel Barrymore) in a fight to cure pneumonia. Wall Street tycoon Paul Messenger wants his daughter Nancy checked as she presents personality issues. With Gillespie sidelined due to exhaustion, Kildare poses as a family friend to investigate Nancy.

I don't know anything about this series or these characters to my detriment. This is preceded by two movies in the series and two more stories before MGM. I missed the connection between student and mentor. I get the idea from the movie but not the feeling. Lionel is a lion. Lew Ayres pales in comparison. If it's done today, this would be TV show material. This is fine for pre-TV to have a movie series such as this.
