    A good Depression-era story set in London, concerning two men, one who was sacked from his job due to his lack of advancement in 40 years, and the other, the owner of the firm, who's desperate and ready to sell out. To some, the story may seem simplistic and/or contrived, but I thought it was an enjoyable, simple tale. It's nice every now and then to sit down and watch something with a happy ending. An interesting performance is contributed by Benita Hume, who was married to Ronald Colman. Interestingly enough, as the story takes place in England, nearly the entire cast is British. All except for the person in the lead role: Philadelphia-born Lionel Barrymore! Would I recommend? Yes, to those who don't mind something that is enjoyably laid-back and old-fashioned.
