    Another Arliss gem.

    Lovely family drama of old man gathering estranged family about him to find out who loves him and who does not. Arliss as always a gem, especially in the last half of the film. There is a clever device of a talking film of him delivering his will at his memorial. First half played for broad comedy. A Fox film before being merged with 20th Century. Print quite out of focus and fuzzy.

    Interesting to see Rafaela Ottiano and Donald Meek, usually in supporting roles, here in leading roles and doing quite well.

    There is a need for IMDb to have a certain number of lines, but really, there is nothing more that I can say, so I hope this added sentence will suffice.

    An absolute gem !

    This is one of the best movies I have ever seen ! I know of no one else who has ever seen it, unfortunately, because it is rarely shown on TV. It is simply hilarious .

    The subject is timeless; the acting is wonderful; and the story line is delightful. Do not miss this one if you are ever so lucky as to find it.
