| 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 children she cares for. WiIIie quickly finds that the child's needs exceed his meager salary, and is forced to get a second job at a fancy nightcIub. His new position inadvertently Ieads to discovering that Oscar is actually 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 Iove 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 Girl (1929). The fiIm's popuIarity 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. LincoIn (1939) and The Grapes of Wrath (1940). Actor Tom Keene makes one of his first earIiest fiIm appearances under his originaI name, George Duryea. The following year Duryea would change his name for his role in RKO's Freighters of Destiny (1931), leading to a long career as a star of ""B"" Westerns. Helen Kane impersonator Marjorie ""Babe"" Kane (most likely not her real name, as the two were unreIated) can be seen singing in one of the nightclub sequences. Though she never reached the popuIarity of the woman she impersonated, she wouId make an unforgettable appearance two years later in the W.C. Fields comedy The Dentist (1932). |
