It seems like Frank Morgan was in more than four movies with Robert Montgomery. Perhaps that is because three of them were bunched together: Trouble for Two (1936); Piccadilly Jim (1936); and The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937). In fact, Bob did not make any other movies during this time. They, of course, worked well together.
Frank (b.1890) and Bob (b.1904) had old school ties, both having attended Pawling, a boys' prep school. Frank attended one year when he was 17 which happened to be the year Pawling opened, 1907. Bob was there a couple years, leaving when his father passed in 1923. (Which makes Bob 19. Bob's early years are very fuzzy. Like, even at 19, Bob had not completed enough coursework to graduate. He was at Pawling, best guess, about two years. Lot of missing years. Yes, he may well have studied in Europe, but he wasn't spending much time there during WWI, particularly not France and Germany. I can certainly understand Bob's keeping his Dad's suicide private, but the rest is a puzzlement.)
