 My Man Godfrey: Criterion (1936)
Mother Angelica (Alice Brady) is a motor-mouthed and flighty broad whose main interest is in her “protégé” Carlo (Misha Auer).
She didn’t need to show the human restraint found in Irene, so she was able to make the role a wild loon who was consistently entertaining.
Auer was also delightful as the “tortured artiste” who really was nothing more than a loafer and a leach.

 The Leopold Auer Biography Page on Classic Cat
Auer is remembered as one of the most important violin pedagogues.
A number of composers dedicated pieces to him, though he initially refused to play Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, despite being the dedicatee, because he regarded the work as unplayable.

 Scifilm -- Musings, CRACKED NUTS (1941)
For one thing, the cast also includes William Frawley (whose divorced wife is named Ethel), Shemp Howard (as the man in the mechanical man outfit, though Ernie Stanton also stands in for the robot) and Mantan Moreland (who initially describes the mechanical man as a zombie).
Mischa Auer's character name is Boris Kabikoff (does that name sound somewhat familiar?), so it's no surprise that the mechanical man (whose name is Ivan and who is modeled off of Mischa Auer) eventually is given the nickname of "Mr.
The running joke is that since Shemp has a weakness for blondes, the robot chases any of them that he finds.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: My Man Godfrey: The Criterion Collection
Godfrey takes the job, but he soon realizes that the Bullocks are virtually insane — mother Angelica (Alice Brady) is a babbler who sees pixies when suffering hangovers, and her protégé, artist Carlo (Mischa Auer), has no discernible talents other than a voluminous appetite and the ability to imitate a monkey.
Meanwhile, sister Cornelia plots petty revenge on Godfrey because he pushed her in an ash pile, maid Molly (Jean Dixon) spends her time making fun of the family, father Alexander (Eugene Pallette) is entirely befuddled and also sounds like a bullfrog, and Irene is lovelorn for Godfrey, caring for nothing else when he's nearby.
The well-assembled cast are superb with rapid dialogue (a reason why Powell, Lombard, Brady, and Auer were all nominated for Oscars, along with screenwriters Eric Hatch and Morrie Ryskind and director La Cava).
