Joe E. Brown was one of Warners’ highest paid contract players during the 1930s. And probably, he was one of the studio’s most successful comedians in any decade. His aw-shucks brand of humor and his athleticism doing various stunts made him different than the rest. Brown’s unique performance style also seemed to work well when cast opposite a bevy of beauties that were more often than not, studio starlets on the way up. His leading ladies included Ginger Rogers, Olivia de Havilland, Jane Wyman and Joan Blondell to name a few.
