I liked the TV series myself. And I can remember when .25 would get me into a saturday matinee. ( 1961 )

Twenty five cents was something in those days

Both Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery both made the transition from silent films into talkies and were once the highest paid actress and actor in films. Thanks for posting!!

Haha- Wallace Beery shoulda broke out into "brother can you spare a dime' ! Saw this film ( a pristine print ) on TCM today. Excellent stuff with common folk overcoming the odds, at the height of the great depression. On par, I would argue, with "Grapes of Wrath".
