Grafton, Massachusetts , directed byClarence Brown , starsWallace Beery as the drunken uncle later portrayed on Broadway byJackie Gleason , and featuresLionel Barrymore ,Eric Linden ,Cecilia Parker ,Spring Byington , and a youngMickey Rooney .The film holds the dubious distinction of being the first to advertise in trade papers for
Academy Award nominations, depicting a cartoon ofMGM 's Leo the Lion holding an Oscar and proudly stating "You've given so much, Leo ... Get ready to receive!" ["Inside Oscar" by Damien Bona and Mason Wiley] . Despite (or, perhaps, because of) the ad campaign, the film failed to receive a single nomination.Cast
