Edward Everett Horton (1886-1970) |

- Adolph Menjou, The Milky Way, 1936.The original cast had a rushed make-over when Jack Oakie was pushed aside for Harold Lloyd in the comedy about a milkman KOing the world middleweight boxing champ in a street brawl. Danny Kaye made a superior version, The Kid From Brooklyn, in 1945.
- Walter Kingsford, Hi Diddle Diddle,1942. The news that the British Kingsford (Surrey-born like all us good folk) took over from EEH was somewhat lost in the combat for the leading lady chanteuse- from Lupe Velez to Constance Bennett to ex-silent queen Pola Negri.
- Thomas Mitchell, It’s a Wonderful Life, 1946.
