 To get the role of Tom Joad in ''The Grapes of Wrath'', Fonda had agreed to a seven-year contract which compelled him to play in several films that saw little commercial success.  He was in the romantic-comedy ''The Lady Eve'' in 1941 with [[Barbara Stanwyck]].  In 1942 he was in ''The Male Animal'', and also that year co-starred opposite [[Lucille Ball]] in ''The Big Street''.  The producer was Damon Runyan, and the director was Irving Reis.
-In this film, Lucille Ball plays a hard, snobby, gold-digging, nightclub singer.  Henry Fonda plays a busboy deeply in love with her.  When Lucy tries to leave the man she's been dating, he pushes her down the stairs and she is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of the picture.  Now destitute, she must rely on Fonda who takes care of her.  The singing of &quot;Who Knows&quot; is not Lucy, it was dubbed in by Martha Mears.  As one of the supporting cast in this movie notice [[Agnes Moorehead]] as Violette &quot;with two t's and an e&quot;.  Also notice the first appearance of Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra.  You can watch the entire movie, in nine parts, on Youtube.  Henry first appears at time 2:52.

 The Col and the cops want to arrest Gloria and Pinks right then, but the Professor comes in to explain that Case Abels is the reason Gloria is in the wheelchair.  He also explains that Case was on the make for the jewels in the first place, and since Pinks got them first, they are actually safe... on Gloria, right there in the nightclub. (It's screwy! Don't ask me!)
