In most of his roles, Eddie Cantor mostly did his stage performance, clapping his hands and rolling his eyes, but in "Forty Little Mothers," he had a role completely out of character.
And he was great! I tuned in to Turner Classic Movies (July, 2010) expecting a bit of fluff, a chance to rest from my Internet labors, and was I happily surprised.
Besides Cantor, one of my favorite screen females, Bonita Granville, was there, as were many talented if not entirely well-known actors and actresses.
There was some good writing, even if the story presentation itself was a bit uneven.
All in all, "Forty Little Mothers" is a sweet, well-done movie that I highly recommend.
