Besides Williams and Molloy, my other favorite character was Roy Bensinger (Edward Everett Horton, funnier than the rest of the cast put together), a health-obsessed reporter who struck a strangely modern note by, when everyone else was getting hamburgers, ordering a lettuce sandwich on gluten bread. He's very insistent about the gluten bread. (Nowadays it would be gluten-free, of course.)
I adore Edward Everett Horton. He is a treasure of almost every movie he's in. Personally I am especially fond of him in Lost Horizon (1937), Holiday (1938), Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), The Gang's All Here (1943), and Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), with honorable mention for Roar of the Dragon (1932) and Going Highbrow (1935). Mae Clarke is also wonderful and rarely given roles as good as she was, of which the pre-Code Waterloo Bridge (1931) is supposed to be the best; I still haven't seen it.
