Sally Eilers: Eddie Boland
built 276 days ago
Sally Eilers heads the cast of Without Orders. Eilers began her career as a dancer before signing with Mack Sennett in the 1920s. She had a small part in Sunrise (1927), the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar® and she stayed busy during the early sound era in films such as the Buster Keaton war-comedy Doughboys (1930), opposite Janet Gaynor and Will Rogers in State Fair (1933) and in the Eddie Cantor musical Strike Me Pink (1936). But Eilers' career was rapidly fading by the late ‘30s. She would only make 5 films after 1939, one of which was Edgar G. Ulmer’s Strange Illusion (1945).

Based on a novel by Vina Delmar, Bad Girl stars Sally Eilers as heroine Dot Haley. The title notwithstanding, Dot isn't bad at all. She enters into a decent marriage with a decent guy, radio store clerk Eddie (James Dunn), and sticks with her man through thick and thin (mostly thin). But Eddie misunderstands Dot's seeming indifference to the new apartment which he has rented and furnished as a first-anniversary surprise. Eddie doesn't know what Dot and the audience do: there's a baby on the way, and that's all that Dot can think about. Once this misunderstanding is cleared up, Eddie takes on all sorts of extra jobs to pay for a pricey obstetrician, even moonlighting as a prizefighter.
