Bringing Up Father (1946 film)
Bringing Up Father is a 1946 American comedy film, based on the comic strip Bringing Up Father by George McManus, about the adventures of the social-climbing Maggie and her long-suffering husband Jiggs. Here, one of Maggie's society friends enlists her help in getting an undesirable tenant evicted, a tenant who turns out to be Jiggs himself. Meanwhile, Jiggs rounds up his friends from the bar to defend his turf. McManus briefly appears here as himself. This 1946 production is subsequent to a number of previous Maggie and Jiggs movies, both animated and live-action, notably a silent 1928 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film directed by Jack Conway. This one was successful enough to inspire four more Monogram sequels:

 Jiggs and Maggie in Society (1948)
 Jiggs and Maggie in Court (1948)
 Jiggs and Maggie in Jackpot Jitters (1949)
 Jiggs and Maggie Out West (1950)

All five of these featured former vaudevillian Joe Yule (father of Mickey Rooney) as Jiggs, and were his final films. Cast
