Movie Info

The Lemp daughters -- Ann (Priscilla Lane), Kay (Rosemary Lane), Thea (Lola Lane) and Emma (Gale Page) -- belong to a family of talented musicians, with their father, Adam (Claude Rains), at the helm. To bring in extra income, the Lemps rent rooms in the house, which brings in composer Felix Deitz (Jeffrey Lynn) and pianist Mickey Borden (John Garfield). Since the daughters are all of marrying age and the men are bachelors, complications arise when love enters the household.

Audience Reviews for Four Daughters

  • Mar 08, 2021
    Four Daughters and its follow-up Daughters Courageous are entertaining domestic drama-musicals that are deftly directed by the great Michael Curtiz and contain entertaining performances by the Lane sisters, particularly the vastly under-appreciated Priscilla Lane. Four Daughters was also the picture that propelled John Garfield's career.

    Good for its time period, Four Daughters is entertaining despite being overly sentimental.

    For the most part, this movie has a good story, but it has some predictable elements and boring scenes. Overall, an okay movie.

    Quaint is as good a word as any to describe this film, that's not always a bad thing though especially with a cast as good as this. Claude Rains and May Robson keep the schmaltz to a minimum, Priscilla is very pretty and best of all is John Garfield, wonderfully contemporary even in this slice of Americana.
