Mrs. Harcourt's role got bigger with each version.
the 1934 version she has about 15 lines.
1962 vesrsion she is in and out alot but doesnt really have much character devel;opment except to be the butt of Billy's jokes and pranks like a margaret dumont.
the 1987 version gives her the most meat. it also establishes the fact that she knew E.J. Whitney through her late husband who "jumped like a Yale Man" during the crash of 1929.
