Hugh Herbert who was usually a second banana in so many films gets a chance
to do a film I have to believe W.C. Fields passed on. In The Family Next Door Herbert is the henpecked husband of Ruth Donnelly who rules the roost over at
their place. He's only good for paying the bills. Kind of like a 30s Al Bundy.
Ruth Donnelly gives over the family fortune as it were to their half smart son Eddie Quillan who makes a bad investment. But the family has the distinct possibility of turning the lemon into lemonade.
One of the best WC Fields vehicles without the man himself, Oh yes.
