Lee Tracy is one of the most definitive actors of Hollywood's pre-code era. With his gift for delivering rapid speed dialogue, he was a perfect fit for the films coming out of Hollywood at that time. Though his acting career would continue until 1965 with the TV movie Steptoe and Son, it was during the early 1930's that he received his greatest popularity and his best screen roles. His movies during this era include John Ford's Born Reckless (1930), Doctor X (1932), Blessed Event (1932), Dinner at Eight (1933), Turn Back the Clock (1933) and Bombshell (1933).
