Walter Catlett, Inez Courtney, Eric Linden, Joan Blondell 1932: Still of the party scene from the 1932 movie ‘Big City Blues’. In the photo are Walter Catlett and Inez Courtney (standing up), Eric Linden and Joan Blondell (foreground), and in the background are Ned Sparks and Evalyn Knapp.Evalyn Knapp had major roles in many early talkies from WB, including several other 1932 movies (such as the EG Robinson film ‘Smart Money’). but oddly in this movie she is just a background character and barely has any lines. Usually roles like that are reserved for lesser-knowns or extras, so i’ve always wondered what the story was behind her brief cameo.
