Spring Byington error


Someone made a mistake on this one and listed Spring Byington as uncredited. I couldn't imagine that she would have been uncredited because she was already a huge star by 1951. So I watched the movie. I see the lady that they thought was Spring, and I can see the resemblance, but it's not her. This woman looks like spring had looked in the 1930's, but had a much different and heavier look by the 1950's. 100% positive she was not in this movie.

Movie girl: I grew up loving Spring Byington on December Bride when I was a little girl watching with my big sister and my parents. I later delightedly discovered her in many films. Some are comedies like this one and then we have some serious ones, like Werewolf of London. No, I saw this lady too. It was not Spring. I thought it might be Hallene Hill whom I spotted on TV shows, but not sure. It's too bad that not
everyone was credited in The Lemon Drop Kid, but one lady Ida Moore, I recognized. She had hidden the gangster's false teeth when they were all trapped in the casino. (A coincidence of note is my third grade teacher looked just like Spring! I remember telling her and she was very flattered. I still have the class picture and she sure did!) This was in '59 and Spring was still a huge star.
