Ginger

Ginger (1935)

Ginger, an orphan, is living with her foster-uncle, Rexford Whittington, a broken-down Shakesperian actor. Although denied the love of a mother and father, Ginger looks after her uncle, gives him lectures, loves him, defends him and keeps house for him. But, through a meddling do-gooder, she is placed in the home of the Parkers, and clashes immediately with the pampered young son, Hamilton.

Интересные факты

Ginger is a 1935 American comedy-drama film directed by Lewis Seiler and written by Arthur Kober. The film stars Jane Withers in her first starring role, O. P. Heggie, Jackie Searl, Katharine Alexander, and Walter Woolf King.

Production

The film was produced under the working title of Little Annie Rooney. Fox Film Corporation had acquired the rights to that comic strip.

Ginger was Jane Withers' first starring role. She had come to national attention in December 1934 in the role of a bratty child opposite the angelic Shirley Temple in Bright Eyes (1934). Based on that role, moviegoers had lobbied for her to be paired with Jackie Searl, who was known for his own "impish" characters, and by February 1935 Fox was looking for a vehicle to star both Withers and Searl. Producer Sol M.

Filming took place from April 12 to mid-May 1935. Filming began on Withers' ninth birthday, and she received two bouquets of flowers on the set. One was from W. C. Fields, who wrote: "To my little friend, Jane, one swell girl. Knock 'em dead, kid, you're going to be great. Your pen pal and fan, W.C." The second was from President Franklin D.

In one scene in the film, Withers performs impersonations of ZaSu Pitts and Greta Garbo. Withers was imitating a recording she had heard by British impersonator Florence Desmond. Unaware of this fact beforehand, the Fox legal department scrambled to obtain permission from Desmond after Withers had filmed the scene.
