Paulette Goddard: Modern Times
built 642 days ago
Starring the ever-bewildered but lovable James Stewart, the beautiful and tempestuous Paulette Goddard, and bandleader Horace Heidt and His Thirty Musical Knights, "Pot O' Gold" revolves around the band's struggle for its "big break." The members all live in Mrs. McCorkle's boarding house and spend their time practicing on the roof. When Jimmy Haskell (Stewart) arrives in town and meets Molly (Goddard) and the band, he soon has the band on his music-hating uncle's radio show, "The Haskell Happy Hour"--and from there it's straight to the top! The film includes such splashy swing numbers as "When Johnny Toots His Horn," "Pete the Piper," "Do You Believe in Fairy Tales?" and "A Knife, a Fork, and a Spoon." Don't miss this song and dance extravaganza!

By the time the film was re-released in 1952, John Wayne has begun to reach mythic status, and Susan Hayward's star was considerably brighter than Paulette Goddard's. This lobby card shows the re-ordered billing according to the then-current status of the four stars. (Note: Susan Hayward actually received 6th billing in the film, behind Raymond Massey and Robert Preston.) (Note: the 1998 release of the film on DVD retains the order shown on these posters for the information on the cast of the film.)
