Olin Howland was a familiar Hollywood character actor who appeared in over one hundred films throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, often cast as eccentric townsfolk. In I’ll Be Seeing You (1944): A woman on Christmas furlough from prison falls for a traumatized soldier on leave, both hiding painful secrets from each other. Equally memorable is Complicated Women (2003): A documentary explores the boundary-breaking, liberated women of pre-Code Hollywood films before the Hays Code took hold.
