Movie Info
Fannie Hurst's Sister Act was the source for this money-making Warners weeper. The four daughters of the title are played by the Lane Sisters--Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola--and by Gale Page. All are musical prodigies, and all are daughters of master-musician Claude Rains. To help make ends meet, Rains rents several rooms of his home to boarders--most of whom, thanks to the dictates of the plot, seem to be marriageable men. We're supposed to care the most about the mutual attraction the daughters

A typical, sentimental small-town family melodrama of the 1930s, with one exception: John Garfield in a stunning screen debut as a brooding outsider.
Exemplary Warners hokum about sisters' romances
Rains carries this Warner tugger
Superior, slickly made soaper with great stars.
A surprisingly heartwarming, funny, and sad film that tugs on the heartstrings, but in a way that isn't maudlin or annoying.
