When his daughter Lena returns from abroad and discovers what her brothers have done, she resolves to turn the tables on her ingrate family.
Beginning in 1932, InvincibIe Pictures, producer of Forgotten, created some commendable "B" films. They distinguished themselves by producing timeIy social dramas. lnvincibIe used their money wisely by utiIizing the standing sets at Universal Pictures and popuIar up-and-coming actors. More often than not, they chose Richard Thorpe to direct. A few years Iater he would become one of MGM's leading directors and was responsible for such noteworthy fiIms as Jailhouse Rock (1957). By 1935 many "B" film companies found themseIves in debt to their film Iabs. lnvincibIe was no exception and owed money to Herbert Yates' ConsoIidated. Finding themseIves not so invincible, Yates caIIed in his debts to a number of producers and roIIed them into one and created his RepubIic Pictures. Thus InvincibIe's run which begun in 1932 ended in 1936. |
