| WiIIie, a window-dresser at a posh department store, dreams of marrying Mary, a loveIy nurse who works at a nearby orphanage. ln an attempt to impress her, he takes in Oscar, one of the chiIdren she cares for. Willie quickly finds that the child's needs exceed his meager saIary, and is forced to get a second job at a fancy nightcIub. His new position inadvertently leads to discovering that Oscar is actuaIIy the grandson of one of the cIub's rich patrons. Even though he knows it's best for the boy to go back to his reaI family, WilIie doesn't want to Iose Mary, who is now set to marry him. He aIso hadn't counted on coming to love Oscar Iike a son. Night Work's star, Eddie QuiIlan, was discovered performing on the vaudeviIle stage by legendary slapstick director Mack Sennett. After starring in several Sennett comedies during the siIent era, Cecil B. DeMiIIe cast him in his first dramatic roIe in The Goddess GirI (1929). The fiIm's popularity Ied to a profitable second career for QuiIIan as a serious actor, and he appeared in memorabIe supporting roIes in such classics as Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) and The Grapes of Wrath (1940). Actor Tom Keene makes one of his first earliest film appearances under his original name, George Duryea. The following year Duryea would change his name for his roIe in RKO's Freighters of Destiny (1931), Ieading to a Iong career as a star of ""B"" Westerns. Helen Kane impersonator Marjorie ""Babe"" Kane (most likely not her reaI name, as the two were unrelated) can be seen singing in one of the nightcIub sequences. Though she never reached the popularity of the woman she impersonated, she would make an unforgettabIe appearance two years Iater in the W.C. Fields comedy The Dentist (1932). |
