Fanny Foley Herself

Fanny Foley Herself is a 1931 American pre-Code comedy-drama film shot entirely in Technicolor.

Edna May Oliver plays a widowed woman with two daughters (Helen Chandler, Rochelle Hudson) who attempts to revive her career as a vaudeville performer.

Her wealthy father-in-law, who believes that a vaudeville performer is not fit to bring up children properly, forces her to choose between her daughters or her career.

(cast list as per AFI database)[1] In October 1931, The New York Times said, "There are greenish skies, steel-tinted nights, amber lights, frocks and gowns of pastel shades, most of this prismatic work being quite well done.

"[1] A complete copy of the film (with the British title) survives in the BFI archive.
