Another Part of the Forest

The patriarch and matriarch of the Hubbard family, Marcus and Lavinia, are played by real-life husband and wife Fredric March and Florence Eldridge who had previously teamed onscreen in The Studio Murder Mystery (1929), Les Misérables (1935) and Mary of Scotland (1936), the last-named being Eldridge's most recent screen credit prior to ''Another Part of the Forest''. Subsequently Eldridge and March would re-team in An Act of Murder (1948) (also starring Edmond O'Brien), Christopher Columbus (1949), and - again as married Southerners - Inherit the Wind (1960), these three films comprising Eldridge's entire cinematic career subsequent to ''Another Part of the Forest''.
